Vomiting is a very common clinical symptom of the digestive system. It seems simple, but it is very difficult to determine which disease is just based on a single symptom, because there are too many causes of vomiting in dogs.

The following is a detailed description of several possible causes of vomiting:

First, dogs are overeating or overly hungry.

Vomiting after excessive diet is easy to understand because when the dog's stomach cannot accommodate more food, it will emptiate part of it by vomiting. But why do you vomit when you are too hungry? Because when a dog is overly hungry, if it smells the fragrance of food, the gastric acid secreted by its stomach will stimulate the stomach to cause vomiting reactions and spit out some yellow liquid.

Secondly, the abdominal cavity pressure is abnormal.

The dog has the most organs in the abdomen. If the abdominal organs are damaged by diseases, it will cause abnormal abdominal pressure. Abnormal abdominal pressure will cause vomiting, that is, the behavior of emptying the stomach. At this time, the dog's vomit is mostly yellow or green water with food and big foam. At the same time, this vomiting behavior is often accompanied by diarrhea and diarrhea.

Third, respiratory and thoracic secretions increase.

After the dog's respiratory tract or chest cavity is stimulated, it will cause its secretions to increase. Similar to human spitting behavior, dogs will also spit out some mucus or water containing small bubbles. At the same time, it is possible to cause irritation in the stomach and spit out food from the stomach. Here we should note that small dogs with tracheal collapse will often vomit and cough habitually, so we should pay attention to the distinction.

Fourth, changes in head and brain pressure.

This is due to changes in the dog's brain pressure, causing the dog to feel nauseous and then vomit. Vomiting is usually food in the stomach, or moisture containing large foam.

To sum up, vomiting is not easy for dogs.

For diseases related to vomiting, the medical history should be asked in detail and the diagnosis should be conducted comprehensively and carefully. It should not be limited to digestive diseases. It should be considered comprehensively before an accurate diagnosis can be made.
