There's no sound quite like the sound that a dog makes right before it vomits. For some reason, the hacking sound dogs make right before vomiting can wake their pet parent from a dead sleep. For those pet parents that aren't awoken by the sound, their foot is often met with a slimy surprise first thing in the morning.
Vomiting, or throwing up, can be a common occurrence for some dogs. Unfortunately, dogs are unable to verbalize to their pet parent, or vet, how they are feeling or what symptoms they are experiencing. Pet parents should be armed with information so they know when their dog is vomiting - is it an emergency or minor issue?
There are many reasons why a dog vomits. Usually, if a dog vomits one time, it is not an emergency. However, when a dog vomits, it can be an indication of a severe problem.
Dogs can vomit due to minor things such as:
More severe causes for vomiting include:
Of course, dogs can’t explain why they're vomiting, but they often show other signs that can help diagnose the severity of the problem.
The following questions can help a pet parent determine if the vomiting is an emergency that needs immediate medical attention.
Any time a pet parent feels something is wrong with their dog, they should contact their vet. Pet parents know their dog better than anyone and know what is normal and not normal for their dog.
