Why Is My Dog Vomiting?

Why Is My Dog Vomiting?

If you’ve owned a dog or cat for a while, chances are you’ve experienced the unpleasant task of cleaning up pet vomit. Occasional vomiting is no cause for alarm. Repeated vomiting, however, could be a sign of toxic ingestion or a serious health condition. If you live in Collierville, Germantown, or Piperton, bring your pet to Collierville Animal Clinic for treatment of vomiting or other health conditions.

What Causes Pet Vomiting?

Young pets may vomit due to something they ate, food, or otherwise, that didn’t settle well in their stomachs. Toxic ingestion can produce such symptoms as vomiting, diarrhea, anxiety, and difficulty breathing. If you think your pet has been poisoned, bring him to our clinic for emergency pet care.

As pets age, they’re more prone to developing infections or gastrointestinal issues of which vomiting is a symptom. If your pet is vomiting repeatedly and appears lethargic, disoriented, or in pain, contact our Collierville veterinarian for urgent care.

Vet Care for Vomiting 

Our veterinarian will examine your pet and perform tests, if necessary, to determine the cause of your pet’s vomiting. For mild cases, we may put your pet on a bland diet or suggest he forgo meals for a day or so to help settle his stomach. In the event of toxic ingestion, contact our clinic immediately for emergency pet care.

If your pet is vomiting due to a bacterial problem, we may recommend antibiotics or other types of medications. We may also run blood tests to check organ function, as that could be the source of your pet’s vomiting.

By safeguarding your pet’s health, you can prevent some issues that cause vomiting. Keep harmful foods, household cleansers, and pesticides out of sight and reach of your pet. When going on walks or hikes to the park, bring your own water supply so your pet doesn’t drink water from polluted sources that can make him sick.
