my dog keeps getting sick in our house can someone give me an idea why she is?

Answer 1

Well. . . you really havent given enough information about how sick your dog might be. It could be something that she has eaten or the environment that she lives in. My suggestion to you would be to take her to the vet asap. If she has diarrhea or vomiting, you need to take her to the doctor before she become dehydrated. Hope she feels better. . .Good Luck!

Answer 2

I experienced a similar problem with and older gal. She was a great dog, a great friend, but we had to put her down because it turned out she had a tumor that was pressing on a lower stomach sphincter (which controls the movement of the stomach bolus into the small intestine).

She started getting sick about 6-8 hours after she ate. In the her later days, she would get sick within an hour after eating.

I was hoping she had something like a parasite (her White Blood Cell profile indicated an elevated eosinophil count), because that would be an easier thing to deal with than cancer. I was wrong

This may not be the case with your furry friend. As I recall, the vets were first concerned with the chance that maybe she had eaten something indigestible (like a shoe, a ball, something like that).

Younger dogs are more likely to do this. Sometimes, depending on the object lodged in the digestive track, a laxative can be given to ease the pain of passing difficult objects.

For my dog, the x-rays didn't show anything like that. So the vets injected some dye into her blood stream to illuminate other problems. This is when they discovered the tumor.

We knew she was digesting some food because she had occasional stools. They were black and hard (not a great sign).

Her spirits were mostly up, but sometimes she just seemed exhausted, which I assumed was because of her lack of appetite. For the past few years I had always hand fed her, because otherwise she just seemed uninterested in eating. Especially her regular dog food (she always had a hankering for human food though). Thinking back now, this was probably the beginning of her tumor and her discomfort after eating.

Putting her down was a pretty emotional thing. But the vet who performed the procedure said if the dog starts hiding, and being somewhat anti-social, its probably time.

I recall the vet looked very closely at her tongue and gums, and I asked her why she did this. I don't remember her explanation (I was in some sort of pre-death shock), but somehow this is an indication as to how sick my dog was. You can probably google this to find out how to do it yourself (what to look for and such).

Take home points: (1) age of dog may quickly predict the method your vet will take in discovering the ailment (all are expensive, unfortunately). (2) Lack of appetite might be important information for your vet. (3) Discoloration of gums and tongue might suggest whether "its time". (4)The dog's behavior, over time, may indicate the seriousness of the situation.

Keep in mind, I'm not a vet. This is just just my story, but maybe it will help.

I wish you well my friend.

the final public of cat ailments will no longer be able to be transmitted to dogs, and it would not sound like your cat is ill besides. He certainly needs to work out a vet this week. I doubt getting the cat became with regards to what's occurring with him... If something the cat may be bothering his allergic reactions, yet that would not reason a seizure or vomiting, except he became coughing and gagging so no longer uncomplicated from the reaction that he vomited. merely see what the vet says.

Answer 4

Answer 5

the real question from me is what does the vomit look like. Is it mostly food? If so switch to a good quality lamb and rice food. Is there grass in it? Take away the grass. Do you see plants in it? You guessed it...take away the plants. You need to know what is in it in order to correct the problem.

Answer 6

Have you been grooming her? It could be the "fur ball" stuff. Or is she drinking her water too fast? One of my dogs "urrps" when he guzzles water. you could try putting one tablespoon of plain yogurt on her food once a day to settle her stomach. Or you can try changing her food to one that is mainly meat & protien based like Purina One or Old Roy High Performance... Good luck

Answer 7

It could be parvo, or an intestinal parasite, or a blockage. Take her to the VET ASAP!

Answer 8

Its probably round worms,go to the vets anyhow and get a check done.ALL DOGS GET WORMS IF THEY,RE NOT WORMED REGULARLY.

Answer 9
