Dogs burping and vomiting may be caused by eating too much or too quickly, or they may be ingesting foreign objects such as plastic, bones, stones, etc., causing intestinal blockage. In addition, if the dog vomits very frequently and is accompanied by abnormal symptoms such as listlessness, loss of appetite, diarrhea, etc., it should also be considered that it is infected with an infectious disease, or caused by gastroenteritis, gastric ulcer and other diseases. Because it is difficult to determine the specific cause based on symptoms alone, it is recommended that owners go to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time after discovering that their dogs have such symptoms.
1. Eating too much or too fast
If your dog eats too much or too fast when eating, it may cause physiological problems such as hiccups, vomiting, and abdominal bloating. In this case, the dog usually vomits undigested food and may eat it again. Therefore, at this time, it is recommended that the owner first deprives the dog of food and water, and gives some drugs and probiotics to aid digestion to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, promote defecation and reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.
2. Intestinal blockage
When a dog accidentally eats foreign objects such as plastics, bones, stones, etc., because these foreign objects cannot be digested and absorbed by the dog, it may cause serious intestinal obstruction. The tract is blocked, causing symptoms such as hiccups and vomiting. Therefore, the owner can recall whether the dog has swallowed a foreign body, and take the dog to the pet hospital for a B-ultrasound or X-ray examination as soon as possible to determine the location of the foreign body and treat it through surgery and other methods.
3. Infection with infectious diseases
If the dog is still young, has not been fully vaccinated, and has persistent hiccups and vomiting, it is likely to be infected with an infectious disease, such as dog Distemper, canine parvovirus, coronavirus, etc. This viral disease has a very high fatality rate for dogs, so if you suspect this situation, you must go to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time.
4. Gastroenteritis or gastric ulcer
If the dog’s vomit is red and accompanied by abnormalities such as listlessness, loss of appetite, bloody diarrhea, etc. Consider vomiting caused by gastroenteritis or gastric ulcer. In this case, it is recommended to take the dog to the pet hospital for examination immediately to avoid worsening of the condition.
