Can anyone tell me what I can do for a vomiting dog? And when should I call a vet?

March 12th, 2010 | by admin |

He started vomiting early this morning. Mostly yellow bile but some food is also coming up. He is very mopy and sad like, he wont eat anything but he is drinking more water than normal. I may know what is causing the vomiting, We accidentally left a bowl full of chocolates out on the table and he ate about 35 pieces, wrappers and all!, But that was like 2 days ago, so Im not 100 percent positive its the cause. Please help me if you can, Thanks in advance.

Well take him to the docter imediently he is probaly dehydrated. Call a vetenarian or go see one fast.

    If he continues more than 24 hours from when he first vomited, take him in. He might need IV fluids to keep from dehydrating.

    If he has diarrhea be especially vigilant. You can try some pepto bismal– a vet told me to do this once– use a dropper or a syringe with no needle.

    If he is not better by tomorrow, get to the vet.

    Chocolate is toxic to dogs.

    I don’t want to alarm you but isn’t chocolate poisonous to dogs? In that case it would affect the liver, hence the bile. Just call the vet and get advice. In general I give plain white rice to the dog if he has an upset stomache like that.

    Take him out, let him eat grass. Give him some Pedialyte or Gatorade
    If he is still sick tomorrow, call the vet

    This should hold you over for tonight. Since Chocolate is poison to dogs, I suggest you get him in to the vet in the morning.

    The best thing to do is feed it dry chicken and rice 2-3 times a day. This is exactly what the vet will tell you if you ask one. I use it when my dog gets sick too. apparently rice is really good for them.
