| Vet secrets I got this email today and wanted to share with everyone. I'm sorry that it is so long. Veterinary Secrets *August 1, 2005*..........................*Issue#011* *Andrew Jones,DVM* *STOP THE VOMITING AT HOME!!* Greetings from Nelson BC!! Welcome new subscribers to the 11th issue of Veterinary Secrets! *SIGNS* Your pet is throwing up her food and/or water. He may be throwing up bile on an empty stomach. You may not witness vomiting, but find the evidence on the floor. *CAUSES* The list is large, although the most common cause is garbage gut. Your pet consumes something he shouldnt have, resulting in vomiting. Other causes include: medications (Aspirin); parasites; food allergies; liver or kidney disease; pancreatitis; cancer; infectious causes (parvovirus); metabolic disorders (thyroid disease or diabetes); physical obstructions (a ball or a bone); and primary motility disorders (the stomach doesnt contract normally). *SOLUTIONS* *ASSESS SEVERITY.* If your pet is vomiting persistently and unable to retain even water, wait no longer than 24 hours before ITS TO YOUR VETERINARIAN. This indicates a severe problem such as an obstruction that needs to be treated with IV fluids and possibly surgery. If your pet is still drinking and only intermittently vomiting, you can try some of these home remedies. *FASTING TIME.* A 24 hour fast is the most important thing you can do to allow your pets inflamed stomach to heal. Allow access to controlled amounts of water, but no food. After 24 hours offer bland food such as plain cooked white rice; give equivalent amounts of rice as you do dog or cat food. After 48 hours mix their regular food with rice and dont fully go to regular food until after 72 hours. *A CUP OF TEA.* Peppermint Tea is an old remedy used for upset stomachs in people. Brew up a strong cup of tea, but allow it to cool before offering it: give your dog ¼ cup per 10lbs of body weight three times daily; give your cat 1 tablespoon three times daily . *PEPTOBISMAL.* This is an old standby that can be effective for dogs. I do NOT recommend it for CATS. The dog dose is 1ml/10lbs of body weight given three times daily for no more than 7 days. *FOOD ALLERGENS.* For dogs and cats with chronic vomiting, I strongly recommend a diet change. Preferably switch to a hypoallergenic food or homemade allergy diet. At the very least, change to a premium quality food. I find that some pets respond to a more natural diet, such as Innova or California Natural. Dr Andrew Jones...

| Thanks for the info. One of my dogs was vomiting for three days--it was over the weekend and the vet was closed. He wouldn't eat, but he continued to drink water. My biggest concern was that he stay hydrated. The morning of the fourth day (when I was about to take him to the vet), he began again and was back to himself almost immediately. I later learned that by making them fast, if there is any intestinal inflammation, not eating will allow the inflammation to go away (this is one of the things vets recommend with pancreatitis). It worked for my dog--he seemed to know he shouldn't eat. |
