Common Questions and Answers about Vomiting in nursing dogs
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.
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.
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.
Since she IS staying at the vet I think her chances for recovery are quite good. Damage to organs from the dehydration caused by constant vomiting is what normally ends up doing them in, so as long as this is controlled and fluids are administered to prevent dehydration, the inflammation usually subsides a couple of days into the treatment and things begin to improve.
Did the vet give you any kind of clue as to what type of bacteria is causing the enteritis?
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.
My dogs bun level in at 122 up from 85 in December. He is a Laasa Apso age 16. Liver and heart are fine.
Phosphorus level is 9.6.
My vet has only said this will get worse. So far he is not vomiting but has loss of interest in food and it is a real challenge to get him to eat anything. He sleeps most of the time. My vet has me giving him B12 shots every 3 days.
Other than suggesting a low protein diet and Standard Process renal support he hasn't offered me anymore suggestions.
My dog was not eating and throwing up for 7 days and had diaherra. We did take him to the vet several times and we did the what ginger899 said above. And usually what Ginger said works. But not this time... The vet first gave us some TYLAN powder to stop the diaherra, and thats when he started to throw up and not eat. The vet then gave us some medicine for nausea and some peptobismol type stuff, and it didnt work.
00 in the morning). Is it serious for dogs to throw up? My vet said it is not normal and even once a month is too much. But she is otherwise fine. She now only throws up maybe two or three times a month. Her stools are normall and no blood when she t\hrows up. Can I give her tums at night? She now only throws up in the middle of the night or first thing in the morning.
As far as the use of the sweetened coconut goes,it would not be my first choice,but, I will confess that I have used it a few times for my dogs. It did not seem to cause any problems with my dogs, and it cleared up the diarrhea.. Of course, sweetened anything is not something that should be given to dogs regularly, and as you mentioned, should be avoided. Organic,unsweetened, is the way to go.
Thanks for mentioning this Tony.
As far as the amounts are concerned..
After a heavy weekend of drinking, the following day I had a couple of hair of the dogs then ordered a take-away curry. I ate the food and feel a sleep for a few hours afterwards. When I woke I went to bed but felt really uncomfortable with the curry sitting in my stomach. So I went to the toilet and forced my self to be sick, gagging quite a few times, then large amounts of food started coming up, then about a hand full of red fresh looking blood came up.
My 1 year old Spaniel has been acting weird.She has been vomiting, sad, and rubbing her ears a lot. I don't know what's wrong with her or what I should do she is also not eating as well as she used to. Should I change her kibble? She looks healthy but she acting strange i don't know if I should take her to the vets. can someone give me advice. Has this ever happened to one of you?
In terms of nursing, a patient that comes in with blunt force injury to the head, especially when there is a loss of consciousness, must be presumed to be developing increased intracranial pressure. Besides the obvious signs such as a blown pupil, confusion and visual disturbances the nurse must be attentive to closely monitor the patients respirations and blood pressure, especially during the first hour. Make sure the pressures are taken from the same arm.
I appreciate very much you time to answer me, that was a nightmare for me when she was sick and i dont know what wrong with her, i love her very much, she is the joy in my house, I have 2 dogs Max who is a daschund and her, they are the joy in my life and when they are sick for anything i feel awful because i love them with al my heart.
