Causes of Chronic Vomiting in Dogs Chronic vomiting can be caused by diseases of the gastrointestinal tract or can occur secondary to other systemic diseases. It is important to try to establish the cause of chronic vomiting.
Vomiting can quickly become a life-threatening problem in these pets. In the case of a healthy adult dog with no symptoms other than vomiting, the owner can withdraw food and water for 12 to 24 hours. During this time, the dog can have ice chips to lick. Water and bland food can be gradually reintroduced over the course of the next few days as long as the dog does not start throwing up again. If the dog is not improving after 24 to 48 hours have passed or has other symptoms, the animal needs veterinary care. In a veterinary clinic, a dog throwing up is first stabilized, and antiemetics are often used to provide fast relief.
