What's wrong with dogs hiccups and vomiting? Hiccups and vomiting in dogs can be caused by indigestion, food allergies, gastrointestinal diseases, or other health problems. The best way is to take it to the veterinarian to rule out the disease and take appropriate treatment.

1. Eat too much or too fast

If the dog eats too much or too fast when eating, physiological hiccups, vomiting, and abdominal distension may occur. In this case, the dog usually spits out undigested food and may eat again. Therefore, at this time, it is recommended that the owner should first fast and water the dog, and give some drugs and probiotics to help digestion to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, promote defecation and reduce gastrointestinal burden.

2. Intestinal blockage

When a dog accidentally eats foreign objects such as plastic, bones, stones, etc., these foreign objects cannot be digested and absorbed by the dog, which may lead to severe intestinal blockage, which may cause symptoms such as hiccups and vomiting. Therefore, the owner can recall whether the dog has swallowed foreign objects and take the dog to the pet hospital for B-ultrasound or X-ray as soon as possible to determine the location of the foreign objects and treat it through surgery and other methods.

3. Infectious diseases

If the dog is young, has not been vaccinated and has persistent hiccups and vomiting, it is likely that it is infected with infectious diseases, such as canine distemper, canine parvovirus, etc. This viral disease has a very high mortality rate for dogs, so if you suspect this situation, you must go to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time.

4. Gastroenteritis or gastric ulcer

If the dog's vomit is red and is accompanied by abnormalities such as listlessness, loss of appetite, diarrhea and blood, it is necessary to consider vomiting caused by gastroenteritis or gastric ulcer. In this case, it is recommended to take the dog to the pet hospital for examination immediately to prevent the condition from worsening.
