Vomiting and diarrhoea are common problems in dogs. They can be caused by a number of issues, including but not limited to:
Systemic diseases like liver or kidney disease or inflammation in the pancreas
If your dog has gastroenteritis it is essential that they visit the vet for a full physical examination and investigation. By examining your dog, the vet will be able to determine if they are dehydrated and if they have abdominal pain or abnormalities on abdominal palpation and if they have a fever. If your vet is concerned about your pet’s physical examination findings they might recommend x-rays of their abdomen or bloodwork.
For patients with only mild clinical signs and no abnormalities on their exam, sometimes supportive care is warranted and can help to resolve vomiting and diarrhoea quickly.
