When is Vomiting Serious?

Vomiting is quite common in dogs and is usually over almost before you finish cleaning up the mess.  But vomiting can also be a symptom of much more serious disease.  You should call us immediately, it your pet vomits repeatedly and refuses to eat or drink.  Other situations that demand more attention include the pet that vomits occaisionally but is losing weight, if the vomitus is dark or black in color, or it occurs on a regular basis (for example, every afternoon).  If in doubt, don't hesitate to call.  It is always better to over react than to lose a beloved member of your family to an illness that could have been treated successfully.

“My veterinary experience began at Foothills Pet Healthcare Clinic at age 18 and continued through college. I am now 24 and have worked in the field for over 5 years. Although I no longer work for Foothills Pet Healthcare Clinic, I will always consider the doctors and staff as family. There is a level of professionalism, sincerity, and dedication to bring people and their pets together that cannot be explained by words alone. Foothills is not only a great place to work but is the clinic I will continue to bring my pets to in the future.”
