My dog has diarrhea and threw up after exercise. What's wrong?

Unless she was outdoors her exhaustion is not very likely. It could be a mild case of gastritis (upset tummy) or even a mild toxin exposure. Sometimes giving small amounts of water frequently and seeing if the pet holds that down and, if so, then slow re-introduction of food is all that is needed. If they vomit the water it is more serious and a veterinarian should examine the pet. If, however, your dog continues to vomit, has bloody diarrhea, seems painful or has a distended appearance to her stomach she should be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible.

He may have ate something that caused some gastrointestinal upset since he seems to be doing better. Continue feeding the beef and rice for a few days and then transition back to his regular food. If the vomiting and diarrhea persists then he needs to be examined by a vet to determine the cause and treat. Your vet can take an x-ray to make sure he doesn't have an obstruction since there is a chance he ate some socks.

4 days is very long for a dog to have vomiting and diarrhea. I recommend that Alexa see a vet as soon as possible. Potential causes for her illness include dietary intolerance, dietary indiscretion, food allergy, intestinal parasites, GI blockage, gastroenteritis, bacterial or viral infection, IBD, pancreatitis, among others. Your vet may recommend abdominal x-rays, bloodwork, or an intestinal parasite screen to help diagnose her ailment and create an appropriate treatment plan.

Hello, sorry to hear about Anya. Most GI sings of diarrhea may resolve with a bland diet of plain white rice, skinless and boneless chicken, and low fat cottage cheese. However, other more severe causes of this such as liver or kidney disease, inflammation of the bowel, and ingestion of foreign material may will require that your veterinarian examine Anya. If she develops persistent vomiting or diarrhea then I would recommend having her evaluated by her primary care veterinarian as she may need bloodwork and x-rays to be prescribed the adequate medications. In the interim, monitor her for persistent vomiting (more than 3 episodes in 1 day), diarrhea with blood, severe lethargy, or loss of appetite and contact your veterinarian if you note any. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Hi there, it sounds like they both have a touch of gastroenteritis which could have been picked up from the water or because of the new tests upsetting their tummies. I would starve them 24 hours then feed plain chicken and rice for a day. If they are getting worse go to the vet. Try and avoid letting them drink water outside from now on.

Yes, this can happen, especially if they just ate Right before hand. But, if it is a continual thing or vomiting is happening when the dog is not so worked up, please see your vet for some diagnostics. Try not to feed the dog right before a stressful event or before a big run. Bloating can be a problem is they eat and run too much, especially if they drink a lot of water.

There are lots of things that could cause vomiting and diarrhea in a dog, including dietary intolerance or indiscretion, food allergy, intestinal parasites, GI blockage, gastroenteritis, bacterial or viral infection, IBD, pancreatitis, among others. If it persists for 24 hours or if Oscar seems lethargic, I would recommend having him seen by a vet where you are vacationing.
