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.
Target Heart Rate Your heart rate is one of the easiest measurements to take to determine your level of exertion during exercise. The American Heart Association recommends working in a safe target heart-rate zone between 50 and 85 percent of your maximum heart rate. An 18-year-old boy can find his maximum heart rate by subtracting his age from 220. This would put his maximum heart rate at 202 beats per minute, meaning he should exercise between 101 and 172 beats per minute. An 18-year-old girl can subtract 88 percent of her age from 206, putting her maximum heart rate at 190 beats per minute and her target heart-rate zone between 95 and 162 beats per minute.
