Dog vomiting and diarrhea

There are many causes of dog vomiting and diarrhea, usually including food stimulation, viral gastroenteritis, poisoning, and intestinal dysfunction. In addition, severe vomiting and diarrhea can lead to dehydration, loss of a large amount of electrolytes, and acid-base imbalance. Due to the severity of the condition, it is recommended to seek timely treatment at a pet hospital to avoid delay in the diagnosis and treatment.

There are many causes for a dog to vomit and have diarrhea. First, consider food stimulation, such as feeding a large amount of indigestible food, which can cause problems with the dog's digestive system and lead to vomiting and diarrhea.

Second, consider viral gastroenteritis, such as canine parvovirus or canine coronavirus infections. Viral gastroenteritis is highly harmful to dogs, and if not treated promptly, it can lead to the dog's death. The symptoms of this disease are similar to those of common gastroenteritis, mainly including vomiting, diarrhea, and lethargy, but the disease progresses more quickly. The mortality rate is relatively high.

Additionally, poisoning is less common, mainly referring to poisoning caused by the ingestion of ethylene glycol, zinc phosphide, and other toxins. When discovering that a dog has eaten some foreign object, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly instead of using some folk remedies, to avoid exacerbating the condition or causing the dog's death.

Finally, intestinal dysfunction mainly includes small intestinal parasitism, intestinal obstruction, etc. When there are many small intestinal parasites, it can easily lead to vomiting and diarrhea in dogs, and may also cause intestinal obstruction. Intestinal obstruction is more common in dogs that have eaten some indigestible or difficult-to-digest foreign objects. Clinical manifestations include vomiting and diarrhea, accompanied by lethargy, loss of appetite, and other abnormal symptoms. Regardless of the cause of the dog's vomiting and diarrhea, it is recommended to bring the dog to a pet hospital for related examinations and treatments promptly to avoid secondary severe diseases and potential death.
