Thanks for reaching out. It’s definitely concerning when your dog isn’t feeling well. Vomiting and diarrhea are common issues for our furry friends and can be brought on by a variety of factors. These could include mild things like eating something they shouldn’t have, sudden changes in diet, or even stress. More serious causes could be viral or bacterial infections, parasites, or an underlying health condition.
For now, make sure your dog stays hydrated, as dehydration is a risk with diarrhea and vomiting. You can offer small, frequent amounts of water or even an unflavored electrolyte solution designed for pets. Consider withholding food for 12-24 hours to give their stomach a rest, then gently reintroduce a bland diet like boiled chicken and rice in small portions once vomiting stops.
Keep an eye out for signs like blood in vomit or stool, lethargy, ongoing vomiting or diarrhea for more than 24 hours, or any signs of pain or distress. If you notice any of these, it’s time to get them seen by a vet sooner rather than later.
I recommend booking a video consult with us at Dial A Vet to discuss your dog’s symptoms in more detail. This will help us figure out the best course of action to get your pup back to feeling their best.
