If ever you notice your pet dog vomit, your first instinct might be to panic. Vomiting is the body’s natural method of expelling something unwholesome. Should your dog be vomiting once or twice a day, but seems well, relatively active, and eats normally, then do not panic. But if there are other symptoms accompanying the vomiting like loss of appetite, diarrhea, changes in the frequency of urination, presence of blood in the vomitus, or lethargy, then immediately take your pet over to your veterinarian. Vomiting persistently for two or more days may lead to your pet becoming dehydrated. Since your dog will be losing fluids, his condition may take a turn for the worse because his organs will fail to properly function. Your vet might have to run several tests to find out the root cause of your dog’s vomiting and then come up with the proper treatment. Keep monitoring your dog to check if the vomiting, as well as other symptoms, continues.
