If your dog vomits suddenly, it might be because he ate something disgusting. Perhaps, it could mean that there is something in your dog’s gastrointestinal tract causing a blockage, or bloating that is the result of the stomach twisting. Dogs are scavengers by nature, and will not hesitate to try and eat any food or even non-food things so long as it seems appetizing to them. If for some reason a dog ingests organic substances that are decaying, he may develop gastroenteritis. Food items that are too fatty and rich could also induce vomiting if eaten. Vomiting may also be a noteworthy symptom of being poisoned. Then there are some medical maladies that do not necessarily have a direct effect on the digestive tract but do include vomiting as a symptom. Some of these are liver diseases, uterus infections, nervous system problems, parasites, diabetes, and a host of other possible illnesses.
In many such cases of dogs vomiting, the safety reaction of the body is to expel something toxic or irritating. If the vomiting fits happen quite a few times and your pet seems ill and lethargic, immediately take him to the animal hospital Chesapeake, VA, and seek assistance.
