Vomiting can be not just a consequence of malnutrition or poisoning, but also one of the symptoms of more dangerous diseases. This article will discuss why the dog vomits with foam and what can provoke it.
Vomiting in dogs causes
If you are not sure if such vomiting is dangerous, you should first understand its mechanism. Foamy vomiting occurs due to the fact that after eating food for one reason or another, food is pushed into the intestines and the stomach remains completely empty. As a result, the mucus secreted by the walls is collected in the stomach, which it secrete to avoid self-digestion.
This very mucus consists of proteins and so-called mucopolysaccharides. When mixed with air, this mixture acquires a foamy consistency. So, the vomiting of white foam in a dog can occur with an empty stomach. This is a safer variant for animals.
If vomiting white foam in the puppy is episodic (only once), do not worry. It's quite another thing, if it repeats several times a day - this is an occasion to immediately take the pet to a specialist. The fact is that the causes of frequent vomiting in dogs can be some malfunctions in the body. If the dog tears with foam every morning, most likely, we are dealing with violations of the separation of bile. Usually it is excreted only after eating, and excretion into a hungry stomach just provokes vomiting in the animal.
As a rule, vomiting with white foam occurs in a puppy or an adult small specimen. For example, vomiting white foam from york - the symptom is quite frequent and does not threaten the pet if its frequency does not exceed once a week. In such situations it is worth giving the food often and in small portions, adding more fatty foods.
In some cases, when vomiting with white foam, the dog is prescribed choleretic preparations. If, after vomiting, the dog clearly shows bloody spots and the condition has deteriorated noticeably, without hesitation, go to a specialist. If the pet's condition is normal, you can get by by adjusting the supply.
