Editor: If a dog eats a bad stomach, it may cause gastroenteritis; but, besides eating a bad stomach, are there any other reasons? Netizen Jerry changed the dog's feed rashly, causing the dog to vomit and have diarrhea; Doctor It is also reminded that there are many reasons for gastroenteritis, such as eating randomly on the roadside or swallowing foreign objects that should not be swallowed, which may lead to vomiting and diarrhea.

The day before yesterday, Dudu had vomiting and diarrhea in the middle of the night. He didn't notice it because he was so asleep. When I woke up in the morning, I saw vomit and poop on his body! I was very upset about why I slept so deeply and found out, so I quickly got a wet towel to wipe Dudu's body (he is a short-haired Mix, about one year old), and rushed to the doctor to take him to the hospital.

After examination, the doctor said that Dudu probably had gastroenteritis and that he should not be fed for the time being. After an injection, he should be fine. But the doctor also told me that it was a good thing that I sent Dudu to the hospital quickly, because some owners would like to observe it first, but unexpectedly, the situation did not change after a few days, and more serious problems may cause dehydration.

The doctor also said that you can actually observe the dog's vomit. Most of the dog's vomit may be food residues that have not had time to digest. Sometimes it will be accompanied by some yellow-green bile, and the things pulled out may also appear. Brown, yellow-green watery stools, if more severe, may be a little bloody, or may not form at all; if you have these symptoms, it is recommended to seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

The doctor also asked me if I had changed Dudu’s feed recently, or if I suddenly gave him something he had never eaten before, or if Dudu ate something on the roadside when he went for a walk, or if he ate it at home. There are things that are not easy to digest, such as small buttons, small toys, etc., and these may be the cause of vomiting and diarrhea in dogs.

I thought about it. I went to a pet show before and a manufacturer gave me a sample package. I gave it to Dudu yesterday. Maybe it was because of the change of feed, or the sample package was stored for a period of time, causing it to go bad. Dudu ate it. I would feel gastrointestinal discomfort if I had it. After hearing what the doctor said, I felt a little guilty.

The doctor told me that if you want to change the feed or food (such as fresh food), don’t change everything at once. It is recommended to mix the new feed with the original feed for the dog to eat, and on the one hand, test the dog Whether the dog likes to eat it or not, on the other hand, you also need to know whether the dog’s stomach can adapt to the new feed.

The doctor said that if you just change the feed, it should be fine, just keep an eye on it; if it is because you eat randomly outside, you should be particularly careful, because bacteria or viruses may be brought back from outside, which can also cause gastroenteritis. Of course, eating randomly outside is very likely to infect a lot of intestinal parasites, such as roundworms, stripworms, etc. After hearing this, I thought that next time I take Dudu out, I really need to make sure that Dudu has not eaten anything randomly. ~

The doctor also reminded that if it is simple gastroenteritis, it is easier to deal with. However, if it is due to special food allergies, or hepatitis, nephritis, or hepatitis, it may also cause vomiting and diarrhea, so you should pay special attention~

After treatment, Dudu's symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea were finally relieved. However, it still seemed that he had no energy and the whole dog was very sick. After all, it was my negligence. I changed the feed too suddenly. Dudu has gastrointestinal discomfort, I will definitely pay special attention to it next time~
