Dog owners would already be accustomed to the vomiting episodes of the pet. Pet owners would already be wise to the pet's habit of depositing the contents of the stomach on the carpet instead of on the easy to clean tiled floor. It would really be very annoying if the dog would not finish throwing up in one place but would transfer to another to deposit another heap of vomit. In times like this wouldn't you want to vanish the dog to Neverland?
Considering the dietary indiscretion of our four legged friends, it would not be surprising to see them throwing up. Dog owners know that dogs are voracious eaters that would not pass up the chance to consume even inedible objects. Naturally, the dog's system will expulse objects that are not supposed to be in the dog's stomach. Apparently, dogs know that they only need to throw up to remove the foreign objects from their stomach.
The dog's habit of gulping down food will result to vomiting if the dry food that fills the stomach absorbs moisture and expands. A dog may have chronic or acute bouts of vomiting. A dog may have sudden vomiting bouts but this condition is pretty ordinary in dogs and dog owners need not be concerned especially if the dog is its usual energetic self.
Generally, acute vomiting is not life threatening. Often times throwing up is a onetime occurrence and after the offending contents of the stomach are expulsed, the pet would be back in its normal voracious-eating self. Acute vomiting though can also be a medical emergency. We know how curious dogs are. These adorable creatures may have ingested poisonous substances or objects that were swallowed are too large to pass the smaller intestinal tract. Throwing up caused by poisoning or blockage of the intestinal tract would need immediate medical attention.
A dog that appears to be healthy would throw up every now and then because of an undiagnosed medical condition. Dogs with chronic bouts of vomiting can have intestinal parasite infestation, parvovirus or distemper. Allergies, pancreatitis, inflammatory bowel disease are other causes of chronic vomiting.
Chronic vomiting can result to poor digestion so that the body's absorption of nutrients will be hampered and the dog will have a much lowered level of energy, poor appetite as well as a less than appealing coat appearance. Vomiting is common in dogs thus dog owners are usually not concerned with the condition of the pet however because chronic vomiting can have serious effects on the health of the pet it is imperative that medical attention be given.
