A: If your dog is vomiting, please call Bridgewater Veterinary Hospital so we can help determine how urgent the situation is.
While waiting for guidance, you can withhold solid food, including meals, treats, biscuits, table scraps, and chews. Offer only small amounts of water at a time, or a few ice chips periodically, to help prevent more vomiting. Do not give any over-the-counter medications unless directed by a veterinarian.
Vomiting can happen for many reasons, including eating something they shouldn’t, sudden diet changes, stomach upset, pancreatitis, infection, toxins, or a foreign object stuck in the stomach or intestines.
Please seek urgent veterinary care right away if your dog is vomiting repeatedly, cannot keep water down, is very tired or weak, has a bloated abdomen, has blood in the vomit, has diarrhea, may have eaten a toxin or foreign object, or is a puppy, senior, or has an existing medical condition.
