What Are the Symptoms of Canine Gastroenteritis?

I. Dogs are prone to vomiting.
Dogs themselves are animals that are relatively prone to vomiting. Especially puppies are the most outstanding. If puppies eat too much or eat irritating or odorous food, they will show symptoms of vomiting. In fact, it can also be said that vomiting is a way for dogs to protect themselves. Because sometimes they will consciously want to go outside to look for wild grass and eat it to promote themselves to vomit the things in their stomachs.
II. Main manifestations of dogs suffering from gastroenteritis.
For dogs with gastroenteritis, at the beginning, they will often lie prone on the cold ground or make a "praying posture". Their appetite will also be relatively reduced, digestion will be poor, and accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea.
In the later stage, if the dog's condition worsens, it will show unsteady walking. Occasionally, the excrement will have a foul smell and even bloody stools. The body temperature will also rise. Finally, there will be severe dehydration, which will endanger life.
III. Treatment methods.
For the treatment of canine gastroenteritis, it is necessary to fast the dog, but there is no need to withhold water. During this period, physiological saline needs to be replenished in time. The owner also needs to be extremely careful about the dog's diet. Pay attention to eating small meals frequently and give it some easier-to-digest foods. If the dog has severe vomiting, diarrhea and gastroenteritis-type diarrhea, it is best to take the dog to a pet hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible to avoid delaying their best treatment time.
