Dog vomits after eating

Dog vomits after eating, which may be caused by rapid eating, functional indigestion, gastritis, food poisoning, distemper, and canine parvovirus. Treatment generally involves oral medication and supportive care to control the progression of the disease and minimize damage to the body.

1. Rapid Eating

If a dog eats too quickly, it can affect food absorption and digestion, leading to vomiting. Adjust the eating speed, eat small meals frequently, and avoid overeating. No medication is usually needed.

1. Functional Indigestion

This disease is usually caused by gastric and duodenal dysfunction. It can cause gastric and duodenal mucosal damage, leading to symptoms such as postprandial fullness and upper abdominal pain. As the disease progresses, gastrointestinal peristalsis slows down, and vomiting occurs after eating. Treatment involves taking digestive enzymes as prescribed by a veterinarian.

1. Gastritis

Gastritis is usually caused by bacterial and fungal infections, resulting in symptoms such as loss of appetite, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. As the disease worsens, it can lead to reduced gastrointestinal motility, affecting normal eating and causing vomiting. Treatment involves taking antibiotics and antifungal medications as directed.

1. Food Poisoning

Food poisoning occurs when contaminated food is eaten, causing symptoms such as acid reflux and vomiting. It can also lead to the vomiting of undigested food. Treatment involves following a veterinarian's advice on induced vomiting, laxatives, and gastric lavage.

1. Distemper

This highly contagious disease affects the respiratory and gastrointestinal systems and can also involve the central nervous system. Symptoms include lethargy, rapid breathing, and vomiting. The disease can affect normal digestion and cause vomiting. Treatment involves taking antiviral medications under a veterinarian's guidance.

1. Canine Parvovirus

When a dog contracts canine parvovirus, it may exhibit symptoms such as vomiting and bloody diarrhea. If not treated promptly, it can lead to gastrointestinal damage and cause vomiting. Treatment involves taking antiviral medications as directed by a veterinarian.

During treatment, monitor your dog's condition regularly. If the above treatments are not effective, consult a reputable veterinarian immediately.
