Why does a puppy vomit food?

Pet Knowledge
Puppy vomiting food may be caused by physiological vomiting, eating too fast, indigestion, enteritis and other reasons. If it is not accompanied by other uncomfortable symptoms, it is normal and will generally not affect health. The owner does not need to worry too much. If it is also accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal distension, loss of appetite, lethargy, etc., it is recommended that the owner take the puppy to the hospital for examination in time to avoid delaying the condition and aggravating the symptoms.

1. Physiological vomiting

If the puppy eats too much, it may vomit out the food that cannot be digested in time and then eat it back. This is physiological vomiting, and the owner does not need to worry too much. When this happens, the puppy’s feeding amount should be controlled to effectively alleviate the symptoms.

2. Eating too fast

When a puppy eats too fast, a large amount of food will flow into the gastrointestinal tract, causing physical discomfort, resulting in symptoms such as vomiting and difficulty swallowing. It is recommended that the owner control the speed at which the puppy eats food, and feed easily digestible food, such as nutritional paste, milk cake-type dog food, etc., which can help relieve symptoms.

3. Indigestion

It is considered that the puppy eats a large amount of food that is not easy to digest, which may increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, leading to gastrointestinal dysfunction, abdominal distension, diarrhea, etc. . If this happens, you should take the puppy to the hospital for examination in time, and make standardized and effective treatments based on the examination results.

4. Enteritis

Puppies vomiting food may also be caused by infection with canine parvovirus or parasites. Symptoms such as high fever, drooling, and convulsions may occur. If this happens, the puppy should be taken to the hospital promptly and treated with intravenous anti-inflammatory drugs, oral antidiarrheal drugs, etc. under the guidance of a doctor. During this period, the puppy's diet should be adjusted to avoid eating raw and cold foods, such as iced watermelon, raw meat, etc., which will help the recovery of the condition.
