Why is the dog vomiting white foam? Pay attention to distinguish between 4 situations

We all know that dogs are greedy and will eat as much as we give them. However, we cannot allow dogs to eat all the time, otherwise they may cause vomiting, diarrhea, or even foaming. So why do dogs spit out white foam? Why do dogs vomit white foam? Next, let’s take a look at the reasons why dogs vomit white foam.

1. Indigestion

If the white foam that your dog vomits contains food residue, and the dog even wants to continue to eat the vomited food, it means that the dog may have eaten too much or eaten too fast, and the stomach and intestines have no time to digest it, causing the dog to have nausea and vomiting. In this regard, the owner can first fast and observe the dog for half a day or a day, and feed the dog some probiotics to promote digestion.

2. Poisoning

If a dog accidentally eats poisonous items, such as rat poison, cockroach poison, toilet cleaner, etc., it will suffer from poisoning symptoms such as foaming at the mouth, convulsions, shortness of breath, nystagmus, unsteady walking, etc. In severe cases, it may cause shock or death. Therefore, once you find that your dog has the above symptoms, you need to go to the pet hospital for examination to determine the specific toxicity, and then choose the corresponding detoxification drug treatment. If necessary, you need to induce vomiting or gastric lavage treatment.

3. Gastroenteritis

When a dog suffers from gastroenteritis, due to inflammation of the digestive organs, gastrointestinal discomfort will cause foaming, depression, loss of appetite, abdominal pain and other symptoms. In this case, the dog needs to be fasted and water-free, and given infusion treatment. If the dog is rashly fed, it will easily lead to vomiting and diarrhea. Therefore, the dog can only eat after the inflammation of the dog is reduced and the dog does not vomit or diarrhea. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to eating small and frequent meals.

4. Infectious diseases

If the dog is young, has not been vaccinated, and vomits white foam, it should be considered that it may be infected with infectious diseases such as canine distemper, parvovirus, and coronavirus. At the same time, as the condition worsens, the dog may also develop symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, convulsions, and blood in the stool.

Once you find that your dog is frothing, you should carefully analyze the cause. If it is serious, you should send it to the doctor for treatment in time.
