Vomiting in dogs treatment
Common Questions and Answers about Vomiting in dogs treatment
vomiting
My dog is vomiting. I have a prescription for Ondansetron . It is 4 MG. Can I give it to my dog? He is 13 and weighs 7.9 lbs.
It is not that uncommon for dogs to vomit yellow bile, which is usually a sign of an upset or empty stomach. Dogs will often graze on grass then throw up to help relieve an upset stomach. This can often be remedied by feeding smaller meals more frequently but not more food.
Have you changed foods recently?
This could be something more serious, of course. Any chance your dog may have ingested something in the house or outside?
My jack russell terrier was in acute kidney failure last month and is now in chronic. Her blood work, off the charts in some areas, has normalised but her urine showed high protein and she has high blood pressure; she is taking enalapril for both of these. She is on Hills KD and has shown improvement in weight gain, appetite, zest for life, her coat looks fantastic. But I can't seem to control her vomiting for more than a few days.
It sounds like you're in excellent hands. Please keep us posted on your progress.
A bit off topic - how are things in your area post-Ike? I'm up in Bear Creek and there are still plenty of tarps and blown-out business signs and wrecked trees and fences to be seen. We flooded badly up here the following morning, and it appears some homeowners just gave it up and bailed out.
How did your dog handle the storm?
While phenergan is usually prescribed for people, our vet tells us it can be used safely for dogs. Since I have terrible nausea and vomiting troubles myself, I always have some in the house for the occasional doggie illness.
There is always something else to try, so don't be afraid to ask. And don't forget to post back and let us know what your vet says.
Good suggestion. I will ask to have him checked for tick born diseases and parasites as well. We have thought about poisoning but can't think of what that could be. There is nothing in our yard, we checked, and we dont' live in a neighborhood where anyone would throw something over the wall. He also doesn't take "treats" from strangers.
He is fed food that I cook for him. It was organic chicken, brown rice and carrots and some organic kibbles.
She has been sick since Sunday and has been diagnosed with pancreatis, which apparently is a common problem in dogs with Cushings. Currently she is in the hospital on IV fluids and IV antibiotics. We are very fortunate to have a very good local vet and her condition does seem improved, but we always have the option of taking her to University of PA veterinary hospital. They are wonderful compassionate people there and have been life savers for some of our other animals.
Sometimes dogs will produce large amounts of acid if they go too long in between meals. While this is more common in bulldogs, it can happen in any breed. It sounds like this is what is happening with your lab. You can apply a quick fix to this by feeding him a biscuit or two very late at night. This should keep his hunger down and the acid in his stomach to a minimum until breakfast.
Humans produce bile after we eat. Dogs produce it before which can be one reason dogs often vomit in the mornings. You might try feeding a few small meals a day. Will she eat her food with a little canned for and water? If not, try cooking up some chicken or lamb and rice and feed that a few times a day.
Hope this can get resolved.
Please keep us posted.
Are her vaccinations up to date? Vomiting and diarrhea are indicative of parvo in puppies, so if her vaccinations are not up to date, this could even be life threatening. You need to find a way to take her to the vet. She is in trouble at this point because the vomiting and diarrhea have probably already dehydrated her. Please let us know what the vet says.

Previcox For Dogs Review
By James on November 17th, 2010
Previcox is an anti-inflammatory pain reliever that also reduces fever in dogs. This prescription medication is given to dogs that have just received surgery, have arthritis, or for other complications as prescribed by your vet. You shouldn’t give Previcox to your dog if it is allergic to aspirin or is taking other NSAID pain relievers.
Your vet can determine if your dog is allergic to aspirin with a simple test if you are unsure.
Onions are so toxic for dogs, and garlic is only one step removed, it is so very like onion in many ways. Some dogs seem to be able to handle these garlic supplements, and some don't, and it can cause vomiting if they don't. Even if she has been eating garlic laden food for years, she could have extra sensitivities, or less tolerance as she grows older.
I'm not 100% sure garlic supplements are right for dogs.

above is an article about ehrlichia diseases in dogs. They are very difficult to treat but I would say if you cannot have your pet hospitalized, additional treatment with dixycycline and most importantly prednisone would be warranted.
I am sorry he is not feeling well and I hope everything works out.
There should be a poison control phone number on the box....Call them & tell them what's happened.....Hartz products are notoriously dangerous chemicals even when used correctly........Ingestion could be serious.....I would also call an emergency Vet in your area and see what they say to do....They may want you to induce vomiting if it hasn't been too long...Make the call now.....Good luck & please let us know....
Any time a dog is fed human food there is the risk of them developing pancreatitis, and even one meal can be enough to cause it. Keep in mind that human food is much higher in fat than foods designed for dogs, and dogs cannot process those fats. Pancreatitis is EXTREMELY painful, and if that is what is causing her problems, that's why she is shaking.
