If your dog is nauseous, be sure to show it to the vet. After all, vomiting can be a symptom of a variety of dangerous infectious diseases such as enteritis or plague, disruption of the nervous system, poisoning, tumors, allergies, the presence of helminths in the body, etc. Nausea also occurs in less serious cases, such as overeating, if the dog is motion sick in the transport, when it has swallowed an inedible object.
The reason for going to the doctor should be a situation when your pet's nausea does not stop for more than a day. The veterinarian will identify the cause of the vomiting and prescribe treatment. If the dog has caught an infection, he will have to give special antiviral drugs and apply symptomatic therapy. If the dog is poisoned, then there is no point in using antiemetics, on the contrary, you need to remove toxins from the body as soon as possible, and this is possible by cleansing the stomach and intestines. To prevent dehydration, give the animal solutions of glucose or sodium chloride, "Regidron". "Enterodez" and the homeopathic preparation "Nux vomica" will help against intoxication. A fasting diet for 24 hours is also required. During this period, do not give your pet food, let his stomach rest. As a rule, dogs themselves refuse food when they feel sick. But drinking, on the contrary, is necessary. If the dog does not drink water, you can offer him to nibble on pieces of ice. Dogs are usually happy to do this. After fasting, do not immediately switch the dog to a regular diet. Feed your pet low-calorie food in small portions. Make sure he eats slowly, does not swallow portions right away. A tennis ball will help with this - put it in a bowl, the dog will have to push the ball away to get to the food. Thus, it will absorb food more slowly. The drug "Bismuth" helps to fight nausea and vomiting, which are not caused by serious reasons, very well. It is sold in pharmacies and coats the walls of the stomach, reducing inflammation. This medication is safe for dogs. But learn that Bismuth contains aspirin, which is harmful to cats. To avoid causing nausea in dogs, feed them warm and fresh food. It happens that animals vomit from cheap dry food that does not suit them. In this case, you need to revise the diet. If your dog is sick in the car, then you need to change the driving style so that your pet does not get seasick: drive the car more smoothly, without jerking, at a lower speed. Sometimes dogs purposely eat grass (sedge) so that they vomit. This is how they cleanse their stomach, this is completely normal. Each caring owner should carefully observe his pet and be able to understand in time if something bad is happening to his dog or if it simply reacts naturally to certain situations and stimuli.
