Causes of yellow vomit

Труење

A dog can get poisoned by something picked up on the street, chemicals, various medicines. In addition, dogs have a special interest in spoiled foods. A pet can find them on the street, in the trash, sometimes food can lie in a bowl for a long time and go bad. Dry food can become a victim of fungi and bacteria.

Symptoms depend on what poisoned the dog, the most common: vomiting and diarrhea, lethargy, shortness of breath, trembling, lack of coordination.

In the first 40 minutes from the moment of eating, you can drink enterosorbents. If there is a veterinary clinic nearby, then in the first hour after eating, the veterinarian can cause vomiting in the pet. If you know what exactly poisoned the dog, tell the doctor about it, perhaps there is a specific antidote. In addition, symptomatic therapy is used: antiemetics, painkillers, anticonvulsants, etc., as well as drip infusions to remove toxins from the blood.

Опструкција на гастроинтестиналниот тракт

Often dogs vomit yellow foam due to intussusception, torsion of the stomach, swallowing stones, toys, rags and other objects.

Intussusception is a condition in which the intestine wraps itself up. This happens more often in young animals, because the wall of their intestines is still thin.

Gastric volvulus is a dangerous condition, large dogs are prone to it when overeating.

With obstruction, the dog spits up food, water, bile, yellow foam. All this is accompanied by salivation, acute pain, and sometimes bloating. The pet may try to eat and drink, but everything that he swallows will come out with vomiting after a while.

Treatment is almost always surgical, in rare cases it is possible to remove a foreign object with the help of laxatives and enemas.

Инфекции

Bacteria and viruses can also cause vomiting. Also there is diarrhea, loss of appetite, lethargy, high body temperature. Treatment depends on the specific disease. Antibiotics, antiemetics, drip infusions, diet, etc. are used.

Инвазии

This is a group of diseases, the cause of which is the ingestion of parasites into the body. With invasions, the dog periodically vomits with bile, diarrhea, mucus, blood and helminths in the feces may also appear. Animals lose weight despite a normal appetite. In acute lesions, there may be refusal to eat, lethargy, pain, bloating. For treatment, drugs are used to destroy parasites in combination with symptomatic therapy.

Diet Violation

When eating too fatty foods, smoked meats, an excess of spices, or with regular feeding from the table, vomiting in dogs occurs quite often.

Diarrhea also occurs, and if left untreated, the dog vomits bile even without food, there may be refusal to eat, lethargy, and abdominal pain.

If vomiting occurred once, then symptomatic therapy (antiemetics, antispasmodics, dietary modification) is sufficient. But if the diet is broken regularly, it leads to serious consequences. Groups of drugs will depend on what kind of disease caused this dog food.

Non-communicable diseases of the stomach and intestines

Inflammation of the stomach and small intestine can occur due to stress, genetics, autoimmune processes, intolerance to certain foods.

The disease can be complicated by the occurrence of ulcers and erosions on the mucous membranes. In addition to vomiting, pain, diarrhea, refusal to eat often occur.

Treatment is with antiemetics, antacids (drugs that reduce stomach acid), a low-fat diet, and antibiotics. Autoimmune processes require the use of immunosuppressive therapy.

Болести на црниот дроб и жолчното кесе

Hepatitis, cholangitis, cholecystitis and other diseases of the hepatobiliary system are also manifested by vomiting.

As a rule, with these diseases, the dog throws up a yellow liquid with foam in the morning. The color of the stool also changes, it becomes lighter or completely white. There may be diarrhea, mucus in the feces, loss of appetite and pain in the right hypochondrium. In severe cases, the mucous membranes and skin take on an icteric (icteric) hue.

Treatment includes diet, hepatoprotectors, antispasmodics, antiemetics, antibiotics.

Тумори

Sometimes tumors affect the organs of the gastrointestinal tract or neighboring tissues. In addition to vomiting, there is weight loss with preserved appetite, diarrhea, perversion of appetite (licking walls, eating inedible objects). Treatment is almost always surgical. Radiation or chemotherapy may also be needed.

Болести на панкреасот

Inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) or its necrosis (death) is accompanied by periodic vomiting, acute abdominal pain, loss of appetite, diarrhea is possible. A common symptom is the strange posture of the dog, which is called the “praying dog posture”. In the early stages, antiemetics, diet, painkillers, drip infusions are used to help the pet. Necrosis may require surgery.

Endocrine pathologies

Vomiting can be a secondary symptom in hyperadrenocorticism (adrenal gland disease), diabetes. In addition to vomiting, thirst and appetite increase, the pet’s activity level changes, the skin becomes thinner, and skin lesions do not heal for a long time. Treatment includes symptomatic and hormonal (replacement) therapy.

Бубрезите

Kidney damage (nephritis, renal failure) is accompanied by general intoxication (azotemia) and often leads to uremic gastritis.

The first symptoms of kidney damage are lethargy, a change in thirst, an increase in urine volume, a decrease in appetite, and weight loss. During treatment, it is important to adjust the level of electrolytes and the pet’s drinking regimen (diet, droppers). Drugs are used to relieve symptoms that affect renal blood flow and blood pressure, as well as a diet low in phosphorus.

Топлотен удар

Dogs have always had problems with heat transfer. Unlike humans, they don’t sweat. Wool protects them from the sun and heat, thermoregulation occurs due to breathing. At high temperatures, this may not be enough, which can lead to thermal shock. In addition to vomiting, diarrhea, unsteady gait or even fainting, rapid breathing, and redness of the mucous membranes often occur. Treatment consists of cooling the pet to its normal temperature and replenishing fluid deficiency.

Движење болест во транспортот

Pets can also be rocked in transport. Prepare for the trip in advance: do not feed your pet 4 hours before the trip, make stops every 1-2 hours. What to do if the dog vomits bile on the road? It is enough to give her a break, and before the trip, you should use drugs for motion sickness.

Земање на одредени лекови

You should not use drugs from the anti-inflammatory group (steroidal and non-steroidal) without a doctor’s prescription, drugs from a human pharmacy, such as paracetamol, diclofenac, ibuprofen, ketorol and others, are especially dangerous. In addition to vomiting, they can cause diarrhea, blood in vomit and feces, lethargy, and severe pain in the abdomen. Sometimes bleeding develops, which is complicated by signs of blood loss and shock.

The treatment is symptomatic, gastroprotectors, enveloping, antiemetic, droppers, a special diet are prescribed. Acute blood loss may require a transfusion.

Доколку не е можна оперативна посета на ветеринар

To provide first aid to a pet, first of all, you need to provide the dog with peace. Remove the food bowl for 1-2 hours. If vomiting is repeated, do not postpone a visit to the doctor.

In no case should drugs be given orally with repeated vomiting, the drugs will not just come out back, but can also worsen the condition.

If vomiting is associated with heat stroke, you should place your pet in a cool place, wipe it with a damp cloth, and give free access to fresh water.

In cases with a single vomiting, you need to change the frequency of feeding, that is, feed more often, but in smaller portions. In such situations, enveloping preparations can be used. However, the dose of the drug must be calculated by a veterinarian, moreover, many of them have contraindications.
