Vomiting and trembling in dogs may be caused by long-term hunger, poisoning, parasite infection, infectious disease, etc. No matter what the reason is, this situation is particularly dangerous for dogs, so it is recommended that owners take their dogs to the pet hospital for examination as soon as they are discovered, and then treat them symptomatically according to the examination results, otherwise the dog may suffer from it at any time. May be life-threatening.

1. Prolonged hunger

If the dog has not eaten for a long time, excessive stomach acid will cause vomiting of yellow water, and it will also cause hypoglycemia, resulting in trembling. At this time, the owner can feed the dog a small amount of warm water and glucose to relieve the pain, and then take the dog to the pet hospital to see what is the specific cause. After determining the cause, symptomatic treatment can be given.

2. Poisoning

After being poisoned, dogs will also experience vomiting, foaming, trembling, drooling, shortness of breath, weakness in limbs and other symptoms. If not treated in time, the dog may become comatose or even be in danger of life. Therefore, if you find that the dog is vomiting, foaming, and shivering, you must take the dog to the pet hospital for rescue in time.

3. Infection with parasites

If a dog is infected with more parasites, when the parasites wriggle in the gastrointestinal tract, it will cause the dog to vomit and sometimes vomit. There will be intermittent abdominal pain, so the dog will shiver, and worms can be seen in the dog's vomit or feces. This situation shows that the dog's parasitic infection is very serious, and it is necessary to consult a pet doctor in time to choose the appropriate anthelmintic drug for deworming.

4. Infection with infectious diseases

If the dog is young and has not been vaccinated, it is necessary to consider vomiting caused by infectious diseases such as parvovirus and canine distemper virus. Shivering is usually accompanied by symptoms such as listlessness, loss of appetite, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and difficulty breathing. If this is suspected, the dog needs to be isolated immediately and taken to a pet hospital for treatment, otherwise it is easy for other healthy dogs to be infected with infectious diseases.
