Causes of Dogs' Ruminative Vomiting: Understanding the
Section 1: Diverse Situations of Vomiting
Single Incident Vomiting: This type of vomiting occurs once and then promptly subsides, often due to overeating or excessive eating followed by vigorous exercise, which can lead to an overexcited gastrointestinal system. However, if the vomiting is triggered by stress, it's important to monitor the dog's mental state following the episode.
Chronic Vomiting: This involves multiple episodes with short intervals, typically occurring during both full and empty stomachs. The vomit often contains bile, intestinal contents, blood, and is indicative of acute gastrointestinal inflammation or intestinal obstruction.
Intermittent LongTerm Vomiting: This is characterized by periodic and recurring vomiting, usually associated with chronic gastrointestinal issues, allergic enteropathy, or metabolic disorders.
Section 2: Vomiting Caused by Pathogenic Infections
Dogs may also experience vomiting due to external pathogenic infections, including canine distemper, parvovirus, canine adenovirus types I and II, and canine coronavirus. Bacterial infections can be caused by Salmonella, E. coli, Proteus, and Leptospirosis. Dogs can vomit due to a combination of viruses and bacteria, such as a mix of canine distemper and E. coli, or Leptospirosis and canine coronavirus. Parasitic infections can be caused by Toxoplasma, tapeworms, roundworms, flagellates, and coccidia.
Section 3: Other Causes of Vomiting
Toxicity or Allergies: Food poisoning and drug toxicity are common causes, with allergies often stemming from food. Although allergic reactions due to drug resistance are less common, they can still occur.
Underlying Diseases: Vomiting can also be triggered by neurological disorders, metabolic diseases, gastrointestinal ulcers, gastritis, esophageal tumors, intussusception, intestinal obstruction, esophageal obstruction, and constipation.
