If your dog vomits mucus like phlegm, you first need to consider vomiting gastric juice. The main cause of vomiting gastric juice in dogs is infectious factors, and it may also be caused by gastrointestinal blockage. Secondly, clinically, the specific cause of the dog’s disease can be checked through CRP, blood routine, abdominal DR examination and other methods. The last possibility is that the presence of foreign matter in the dog’s intestines causes such symptoms. This needs to be diagnosed in time. The foreign body can be removed through speculum or surgery.
