Let the dog feel that there is no problem with it. Help him to rest on the floor, so he doesn’t have to try to get up or walk around.

3- Clean your dog’s dirty fur with a warm, damp cleaning cloth.

Dry vomiting can lead to tangling of your dog’s hair, so cleaning it is important. Do this as soon as your dog is resting a little, and stop cleaning if your dog is tired because of bathing.

You may want to put puppy cushions or old towels under and around his chin, so that the carpet doesn’t get dirty when it vomits again. Some dogs treat puppy cushions as suitable places to eliminate need, which may ease their anxiety about becoming dirty if they know they have vomiting.

Your dog needs emergency medical treatment for drumming, which can kill the dog within hours if not treated.

2- Check for drought.

Once your dog has vomited,he may feel nausea that prevents him from wanting to drink, as well as vomiting fluids, which can cause dehydration if the amount of fluid he has lost is greater than the amount he takes. If your dog shows early signs of dehydration, give him oral rehydration salts mixed with water every few hours throughout the day.

1-Distinguish vomiting and regurgitation to determine appropriate treatment.

Regurgitation is the excretion of ingested food, as occurs when the pharynx is clogged, or esophageal diverticula and can occur in special cases of indigestion and can be associated with flatulence as a result of ingestion of air.

Dogs can usually be gagged by undigested food coming out effortlessly from the abdomen without showing signs or other diseases.

If your dog falls, you may just need to take his food out on the floor so that gravity helps pass the food to his stomach. However, if your dog vomits strongly the contents of his stomach (severe vomiting), then his muscles contract. You will notice that your dog is curved, and the smell of vomiting may seem rotten.

Regurgitation is usually a sign of esophageal or other problems in the early stages of digestion, such as when dogs eat too much and too quickly. In this case your dog’s food is undigested and tubular.

If your dog regularly shrinks food, he or she may have a long-term medical condition, so place the food higher up on a chair, but also let your vet examine it.

2- Know the causes of vomiting . 

Consider your dog’s diet, behavior, feelings, and recent environmental conditions to determine what may be causing your dog to vomit. For example, think about the last times you took him for a walk and the possibility that your dog might have picked up an animal’s body from the garbage and ate it or had food disposed of in the garbage.

Vomiting can be a common symptom of litter bowels, as your dog is eating unhealthy things that cause his body to expel rotten food. However, if it continues to vomit, there may be a more serious cause among the following:

• Bacterial infection of the digestive tract.
• Intestinal parasites.
• and Severe constipation.
• or mybe Severe renal failure;
• Severe hepatic failure.
• Colitis.
• The small virus.
• Cholecystitis.
• pancreatitis.
• Ingestion of toxic substance.
• sunstroke.
• Uterine infection.
• Reaction to a drug.
• cancer.

3-See if the dog vomiting only once or happened several times.

If your dog vomits once, then eat normally and protrudes regularly, it may be a single incident.If you vomit more than once throughout the day or continue for more than a day, you should take it to the vet immediately.

Continuous and repeated vomiting should be examined more thoroughly by your veterinarian. Your veterinarian should be able to diagnose the condition by performing a combination of tests such as x-rays, blood analysis, stool analysis, urine analysis, ultrasound, and double contrast (barium imaging).

4. Check vomiting to determine the cause of vomiting.

Look at the vomit and look for strange things like wrapping paper, pieces of plastic bag or bone fragments (you shouldn’t give your dog real bones because they usually cause vomiting), and so on. Take your dog to the vet immediately if you see blood in the vomit.

Your dog can lose a lot of blood quickly and it can be fatal.

*If there are no strange things, look at the shape and density of the vomit; is it an undigested food or more liquid in its form? Write down what you’ve noticed so you can tell your veterinarian if vomiting persists.

*If you can show an image or sample of vomiting to your veterinarian, it may help to diagnose your dog’s condition. A vomiting picture may allow the doctor to see its size, which may affect treatment.

after all you should clean the place where the dog sleep or eat all the time because this is so important and make the home a safety environment for our dog .
