Pet Vomit and Diarrhea

Upset stomachs are a fact of life that affects every human and animal at some point in their lives. If your cat or dog is suffering from vomit or diarrhea, you need fast treatment so your pet feels comfortable and free of discomfort. Contact Southside Veterinary Hospital in Vero Beach to meet with our veterinarian for a pet exam when your furry friend is experiencing stomach issues. Let’s look at a few common problems that can affect your pet.

Pet Vomit and Diarrhea

Ate Something That Caused A Problem

If your pet has been vomiting or suffering from diarrhea, it could be an indication that your dog or cat has eaten something that did not agree with their digestive system. This can occur if the food has expired, if it was left on a countertop in extreme temperatures or for a long period of time, or if your pet has an allergic reaction to a particular food. Immediately stop feeding your pet the food in question and call our veterinarian if the symptoms do not subside within a day.

Having An Allergic Reaction

If your pet is allergic to a particular brand or ingredient in food and eats it, your pet may vomit or have a case of diarrhea. With an allergic reaction, your pet could become violently ill if treatment is not administered quickly. It is best to contact a veterinarian for a thorough examination and to obtain medication to alleviate your pets’ symptoms.

A Cold or a Medical Condition

Often, vomiting or diarrhea indicates that your pet is suffering from a medical condition that requires intervention. This could be a common cold or a more severe medical situation. It is difficult to tell why your pet is presenting these symptoms without an examination. Dr. Kilpatrick treats a wide variety of medical conditions and can detect the subtle signs of your pet’s health issues. We will provide the support that you and your furry friend need on your pet’s road to recovery.
