Preface

So sometimes you may see dogs vomiting after eating, so there is usually no need to worry about such situations. In addition, it is vomiting caused by abnormal factors such as illness. For this type of vomiting, it is necessary to distinguish the severity of the vomiting. If it is only mild vomiting, observe the dog's condition in the past two days to see if there is any improvement. If severe or persistent vomiting occurs, it is necessary to send it for examination and treatment as soon as possible to avoid dehydration.

1. Vomiting caused by foreign objects in the esophagus

When a dog vomits, it is necessary to observe the color and shape of the vomit, so that the doctor can know more clearly what happened to the dog when he saw the doctor. If the vomit is white, sticky, and sticky, it can be provoked. This kind of thing, if saliva is vomited, is mostly a problem with the esophagus or a congenital disease of the heart - persistent right aortic arch, which can be determined by a doctor's examination.

Some dogs may also vomit due to foreign objects stuck in their throat, and there is basically no vomiting of foreign objects. In such cases, the owner needs to observe whether the dog can spit out the foreign objects on its own. If not, it should be taken to the hospital. If the foreign objects are large, surgery may be necessary.

If you vomit food and immediately eat it back, it will be fine afterwards, similar to rumination vomiting. Don't worry about this kind of vomiting, it usually doesn't have any major problems.

3. Acute gastroenteritis

If the color of the vomit is transparent or white and thin, it is gastric acid, which is secreted by the stomach. This type of vomiting is most common in acute gastritis. However, if it returns to normal after vomiting, it is not necessary to see a doctor for 12 hours. If vomiting persists, the owner needs to take the dog to the hospital for examination as soon as possible, because it may also be caused by gastrointestinal obstruction, foreign bodies, liver problems, kidney problems, or pancreatitis.

Another condition is that the vomit is yellow, yellow, green, but often occurs before eating, and the dog stays normal all day after vomiting. This is bile vomiting syndrome. If the vomit is coffee colored, not the color of feed or food, but the color of gastric juice is coffee colored, it means there is bleeding in the stomach. The most common cases are gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers.

If the vomiting species of the dog contains blood, it should be taken to the hospital as soon as possible, which may be caused by acute bleeding. Overall, although dogs often appear indifferent after vomiting, it is best to take them to the hospital for a check-up, except for physiological vomiting problems (rumination).
