- if there is blood in the vomit, this indicates severe liver damage, an infectious disease;
- if the dog vomits immediately after eating or in the morning, then this is most often associated with diseases of the digestive system;
- when vomit appears a few hours after eating, it is necessary to make an examination to identify a foreign body or neoplasm in the stomach;
- with renal failure, vomiting is accompanied by the smell of ammonia from the mouth, and with diabetes mellitus, the smell of acetone from the mouth appears;

What to do if your pet vomits
Self-treatment can be detrimental to your dog’s health. Sorbents will help eliminate vomiting, but not the main cause of the disease. A sick animal must be urgently taken to the veterinarian, but if this is not possible, then provide feasible first aid.
How to help an animal:

- you can not punish and scold the dog if it has vomited;
- do not give the pet food, limit the amount of water, you can give it to lick ice cubes;

To exclude poisoning during a walk, the dog must be trained in a timely manner, it is forbidden to take food from strangers, and to pick up garbage on the street.
To make the diagnosis easier for the veterinarian, it is necessary to tell him how often nausea attacks occur, whether there are any impurities in the vomit, describe changes in the dog’s behavior.
A single attack of vomiting in a dog without deteriorating health should not cause concern for the owner: the animal has cleared the stomach of harmful contents. But if the pet vomits frequently, he has other signs of the disease, then urgent consultation and specialist help are needed.
