Dog vomiting: causes, symptoms, and treatment

Dog skin problem

A dog can throw up after eating something that doesn’t agree with it or munching down a meal at lightning speed. However, vomiting can also point to something more serious – your dog eating poison or suffering from a condition that requires medical attention. Namely, throwing up can be linked to gastrointestinal or other issues that require a visit to the vet.

What Might Cause Sudden or Acute Dog Vomiting?

  • Acterial infection of the gastrointestinal tract

  • Dietary problems (change of diet, food intolerance or ingesting non-food)

  • Foreign objects (toys, bones) in the gastrointestinal tract

  • Intestinal parasites

  • Gastritis

  • Acute kidney failure

  • Acute liver failure or gallbladder infection

  • Pancreatitis

  • Postsurgical nausea

  • Swallowing toxic substances

  • Viral infections

  • Certain medicine or antiseptic solutions

  • Bloating

  • Heatwave

  • Motion sickness while travelling

  • Infected womb

Vomiting that appears at times or in irregular intervals over a long time can be the result of gastric or intestinal infection, constipation, cancer and kidney or liver disease.


What to Do if My Dog Is Throwing Up Often?

Occasional, isolated vomiting incidents aren’t necessarily an issue. However, frequent and chronic vomiting can be a sign of a more serious condition such as colitis, intestinal obstruction or parvovirus. If your dog’s vomiting isn’t an isolated case, head out to the vet for a thorough exam and diagnostic testing.

What Other Symptoms to Watch Out For?

Vomiting causes are versatile and setting the right diagnosis is a challenge. Therefore, it’s essential to provide the vet with as much information as you can. One way you can do that is by listing other symptoms. What to watch out for, exactly? 

Diarrhoea

Frequency of vomiting: if your pooch throws up once and continues regularly eating and having normal stool, the vomiting has been an isolated incident.

Other concerning symptoms to tell a vet about include:

  • Diarrhoea

  • Dehydration

  • Lethargy

  • Throwing up blood

  • Weight loss

  • Change in appetite

  • Increased of lowered thirst and urination


When Is It Time to Visit a Vet?


Call a vet if you notice some of the symptoms listed above, if your dog throws up more than once during the day or if the throwing up lasts an entire day.

How Will the Vet Get to the Source of the Problem (Cause of Vomiting)?

Depending on the age of your pet, health history, exam findings and certain symptoms, your vet can make further versatile diagnostic tests (blood tests, radiography, ultrasound, faecal examination, endoscopy or biopsy) which will help to set a final diagnosis.

What to Give a Dog After Vomiting?

You can take care of your pup similarly as you would a sick child and make food such as cooked potatoes, rice and well-cooked skinless chicken. In certain situations, your dog might need fluid therapy, a change of diet, antibiotics, antiemetics (to help regulate the vomiting) or other medication. It’s always best to follow a vet’s instructions.
