Is your pup vomiting? Is it normal for puppies to throw up? Whether you have a case of a pup throwing up after eating or the puppy vomiting and not eating, throwing up should be taken seriously. To learn more, read on!
Cases of vomiting in puppies are more serious than in adult dogs. Vomiting in puppies can cause dehydration and a loss of critical electrolytes. If you see your pup throwing up, take it to the vet as soon as you can. Delaying the visit might worsen the condition of your puppy.
Some of the main reasons that cause puppies to throw up are:
Gastrointestinal Upsets
Many cases of puppy throwing up are caused by primary gastrointestinal upsets. It happens when your pup eats inedible objects(leading to obstruction), overly rich/fatty food, or spoiled food.
Eating Too Quickly
Another potential reason behind a puppy throwing up food is when it eats food too quickly.
Parasites
Furthermore, intestinal parasites may also lead to vomiting among puppies.
Signs of Medical Conditions
Vomiting can occur due to infectious diseases such as canine distemper virus or canine parvovirus. Your dog may experience throw-ups due to an allergic reaction too. It can also indicate that the pup has a bacterial infection, heat stress, or tumors in the GI tract.
Visit Your Vet
Vomiting in pups should be taken seriously. It can be a sign of some dangerous diseases that might cause the death of the puppy. If you are observing constant vomiting, inability to eat, and lethargy in your puppy, take it to the vet.
Keep the Diet Mild
Keep your puppy well-hydrated and try feeling small bland/mild diets a few hours after it throws up. Ensure the healthy eating habits of your puppy. You can ask your vet for recommendations for an easily digestible diet.
Slow Down Eating
Train your puppy to eat slowly and not too quickly. Give it small portions of meals in a day. Nevertheless, if you are unsure about anything, visit your pup's veterinarian for a check-up.
Take your to the vet as quickly as you can if your pup is throwing up. Though it's not common, a pup could have serious complications due to some serious diseases that symptoms include throwing up. If you want to give your pup any medication, consult your vet first. Only proceed with the medications if you get the green light from your vet.
