Your dog's increased vomiting despite receiving anti-nausea medication is understandably concerning. It's important to assess whether the medication is suitable or if an underlying issue might be causing the vomiting.
- Consider whether the medication dosage was appropriate and administered as recommended.
- Observe other symptoms like lethargy, diarrhea, or refusal to eat that may indicate a more serious problem.
- Monitor the frequency of vomiting to decide if urgent veterinary care is needed.
Anti-nausea medications typically help settle a dog's stomach, but there are instances where they may not work as expected or where an underlying issue could persist. If your dog's symptoms seem to worsen or if you're concerned about any other changes in behavior, it's crucial to have a vet evaluate your pet's health to rule out more serious conditions.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
