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.
Use the tips of your first two fingers (not your thumb) to press lightly over the blood vessels on your wrist. Count your pulse for 10 seconds and multiply by 6 to find your beats per minute. You want to stay between 50 percent to 85 percent of your maximum heart rate. This range is your target heart rate. Know Your Numbers. This table shows estimated target heart rates for different ages. Your maximum heart rate is about 220 minus your age. In the age category closest to yours, read across to find your target heart rate. Heart rate during moderately intense activities is about 50-69% of your maximum heart rate, whereas heart rate during hard physical activity is about 70% to less than 90% of the maximum heart rate. The figures are averages, so use them as general guidelines.
