How to Treat a Vomiting Dog

Vomiting is one of the most commonly encountered problems in veterinary medicine. It is nature's way of permitting the dog to rid its stomach of an irritating substance such as spoiled food.

But not all vomiting is due to simple irritation. More serious causes are viral infections or diseases of the liver, pancreas, or kidney. It is important to seek professional help if there are signs of bleeding or if the dog is depressed and still vomiting after initial efforts at control have failed. Here are some tips for treating a vomiting dog:

Step 1: Remove all food and water for at least 12 to 24 hours.

Step 2: If vomiting contains blood or is frequent, contact the veterinarian immediately. If not, proceed to Step 3.

Step 3: After 12 to 24 hours of no vomiting, introduce water gradually at 1 to 2 ounces at a time. If no vomiting occurs, offer a bland diet of boiled skinless chicken and rice (50:50 mixture). If this is held down, transition to regular diet over the next 2 days by mixing an increasing quantity of regular dog food with bland diet.

Step 4: Pepto-Bismol can be safely used for dogs. Call the veterinarian for recommended dose.

No one on the internet can help you. No one here, not even a licensed vet or tech can diagnose your dog since 1) it is against the law to od so without an actual hands on exam 2) we have no medical history 3) we can't see your dog and therefore can't make necassary testing on your dog in order to diagnose and treat.

A dog this ill needs to see a vet and yes it does take money, because the vet will need to take tests to find out what is wrong (these tests aren't done just to take your money, they are done for the welfare of your dog and so a proper diagnosis and treatment can be made).The tests may very well include bloodwork and x-rays .
It could be anything from serious illness, bacterial infection, poisoning to obstruction and anything in between.

Answer 3

Is your dog up to date on vaccinations? How long has it been vomiting? This could be very serious. If you can't get to an emergency vet RIGHT NOW, you need to get a clean, sterile eye dropper and some pedialyte. If you can't get to the store, water or watered down gatorade will do. Gently drop about half an ounce of pedialyte or water into his mouth (make sure he swallows most of it) every 30 minutes. If he seems to be keeping this down easily, give him a little more. This will help him get through the night... but get your poor dog to the vet ASAP if this continues!

only like a physician can eliminate the incorrect arm or leg does'nt propose all of them be attentive to what they're doing.Vets are trhe same way..I had canines into the Vet and that they nonetheless have been'nt getting extra powerful.I asked on right here to work out if others had an identical syptoms at one time or heard approximately something that replaced into going around..I call for plenty from my Vet and demand that each and each attempt be accomplished.In Oct.09 that they had the canine flu yet i replaced into the 1st to come again in with it.I made my Vet attentive to the syptoms to the place they revealed up informartion accessible to each customer..I additionally do assorted examine on my own and over the some years of possessing i've got self assurance i be attentive to as plenty if not extra while it includes my canines..they don't tension photos on me or the crap canine nutrition.They be attentive to i'm holistic and organic while it includes feeding and flea and tick prevention..One undesirable incident w/a drugs can regularly propose a bear in mind as different canines have suffered additionally and how human beings locate out is by using speaking to others..

Answer 5

Of course money is relevant, because this poor animal wouldn't be in this situation otherwise. People need to understand that owning a pet come with serious responsibilities. If you buy a puppy, there is a 100% chance it will get sick at some point in its life, possibly seriously ill. I have two chihuahuas and I've paid in excess of $5,000 in vet bills for various problems that have arisen, but that's a responsibility I took on myself. Why do you think vets and newspapers discourage giving away pets for free? It leads to irresponsible people taking in animals that they cannot and do not intend on caring for adequately.

Dog are a domesticated species, and the traits that would have allowed them to care for themselves in the wild have been bred out for our convenience. Canine hip displasia is common in small breeds, but that's only because we have bred dogs for small size because they are "cuter."

To answer your question, try to work out a payment plan with your vet. If you can't, contact a local animal rescue that will get the animal the help it needs and place it in a home where it can be adequately cared for. Even if your dog makes it through this, you need to come to terms with the fact that a situation like this, or possibly worse, could come along again in the future. You need to decide if you can/want to fork out the money to give this animal the quality of life it deserves.

Answer 6

unfortunately the responsibility of having a dog can cost us a lot of money!! people always learn the hard way that pet insurance is invaluble at times when you really need to see the vet.
There is no other answer ubt see your vet and if you cant afford it then explain that to them and i dont know about in other countries but here if you have an emergency and you explain to the vet they will see your pet, treat it and then give us a payment plan to follow in installments but beware if you dont pay them they wont see your pet again and will bring legal action against you.

Answer 7

Contact your area Humane Society or ASPCA and see if they can refer you to a low cost clinic. Your dog needs attention and quick. Is there any blood in the vomit? If so, this can be life threatening in a very short time.
Your dog needs to see a Vet, even if you have to give up ownership of him for him to get it.
I wish I could help you but if your dog needs surgery for some reason or if your dog has pancreatitis, feeding him could make him sicker, and he would need fluids IV or under the skin combined with saline solution, antibiotics and anti-nausea medication. If it is something less serious, he needs to replace the fluid he is losing. Pedialyte is something you can give to dogs (in the grocery store where baby supplies are.)
Severe infestation of round worms can cause gagging and vomiting. Ingestion of something poisonous can too. You have to get help for your dog. No one here can tell you what to do since no one here can examine your dog.

Answer 8

go to petsmart vets and get on the wellness plan for unlimited office visits for a set price (banfield I think)
your dog may have early renal failure from the recalled pet food, it may be a twisted intestine, it could be a lot of things...poor thing is going to get dehydrated soon if he keeps puking, so try to get him to at least drink milk or something with electrolytes and nutrients in it until he can get to the vets for a blood test

Answer 9

Give the dog gatorade or pedialyte to keep him hydrated. My dog did the same thing last week, but vet was closed. He was fine the next day. At first I thought tainted dog food, but kept a close eye on him and gave him eyedroppers of H20. Some ppl are insensitive, why or why you do or don't have the $$ is irrelevent.

Answer 10

does it eat grass? dogs do that for an upset stomach. otherwise just like people try crackers or bread that will absorb whatever it ate and will hopefully make it better. This is based simply on the fact that I can't afford the vet for such simple issues and have had pets for forty years.
