Part 5 of the Most Common Dog Health Problems


Common Dog Health Problem: Vomiting

Throwing up is a common dog health problem, with dozens of possible causes, from infection or intestinal parasites, kidney failure, heatstroke, or poisoning.

Treatment depends on what's causing a dog's distress, and may include fluid therapy, drugs to control vomiting, and homemade foods like well-cooked skinless chicken, boiled potatoes, and rice.
