Because there are so many causes of vomiting, the treatment will vary (See Table 1: Causes, Diagnosis and Treatment of Vomiting in Dogs). In many cases of vomiting in dogs, it is recommended to withhold food for at least 24 hours, and provide small amounts of water frequently. Then, a bland diet such as boiled hamburger and rice is offered in small amounts.
To calculate a target heart rate for exercise, first determine the maximum heart rate by subtracting the person's age from 220. For instance, a twenty year olds maximum heart rate is 220 minus 20, or 200. The target heart rate for moderate intensity exercise is 50-70% of the maximum. This is calculated by multiplying 200 by 0.50 and by 0.70. This gives you a target heart rate range of 100-140.
1 Usually this is when your exercise heart rate (pulse) is 60 to 80 percent of your maximum heart rate. 2  In some cases, your health care provider may decrease your target heart rate zone to begin with 50 percent.3  It is not recommended to exercise above 85 percent of your maximum heart rate. To find out if your are exercising in your target zone (between 60 and 80 percent of your maximum heart rate), stop exercising and check your 10-second pulse. 2  If your pulse is below your target zone, increase your rate of exercise. 3  If your pulse is above your target zone, decrease your rate of exercise.
