Dog rumination, simply put, means that the dog eats the food first, then returns it to its mouth, chews it carefully, and then swallows it. Some inexperienced parents think that the dog may be sick and quickly take the dog to see a doctor. In fact, dog rumination is a common phenomenon, and there are several conditions for dog rumination, such as whether the dog has eaten the vomit again, and the color of the vomit. Some situations are very safe, but some situations are not optimistic. A similar situation happened to my dog. I was confused at first reaction. After that, I went to learn some information about dog health. Here I will introduce some common phenomena of dog rumination. I hope it will be useful to parents. Helped!

1The phenomenon of dog rumination

1. When a dog ruminates, parents should first observe the color and shape of the vomit, so that the doctor can more clearly identify the cause of the dog's disease. If the dog vomits something white and sticky, like puffs If it is sticky, and it is so sticky that it can be picked up when you scratch it, then this thing is saliva. If the spit is saliva, it is likely that there is something wrong with the dog's esophagus. The specific reason will only be known after the doctor!

2. If the food you vomit is food and you eat it back immediately, and you are fine afterwards, then this kind of vomiting is physiological vomiting, similar to rumination, and there is no need to see a doctor!

3. If the color of your dog's vomit is transparent or white, then this is gastric juice. This kind of vomiting is mostly caused by gastritis. If you are fine after vomiting, there is no need to see a doctor, but you should Fast for half a day; if you continue to vomit, you should see a doctor in time, because it may be caused by gastric obstruction or liver problems.

There is also a situation where yellowish-green stuff is vomited, but it mostly happens before eating, and the dog returns to normal after vomiting. This situation belongs to bile vomiting syndrome. If the vomited thing is brown (feed or food) Except for color), it means that the dog’s stomach is bleeding, which should be a gastric ulcer!

5. If the vomiting is bright red, then there is nothing to say. It is acute bleeding and the dog must be taken to the doctor immediately!

2 Reasons why dogs ruminate

In general, even if the dog will return to normal after vomiting, it is best for parents to take it to the hospital for treatment. Sometimes you seem fine, but if you don’t take your dog to see a doctor, it may turn from simple inflammation to severe bleeding or gastric ulcer. By then, your dog will suffer, and the parents will be anxious and have trouble sleeping and eating. ! Let’s talk about the reasons why dogs ruminate:

1. Eat too much rightI think most people have personal experience of this. If people eat too much, they will feel very uncomfortable in their gastrointestinal tract, and dogs are very resistant to hunger. Once they eat too much, they will cause physical discomfort, leading to vomiting.

2. Diet structure Rumination in dogs is actually closely related to their diet. For example, eating too much meat or greasy food can also cause gastrointestinal discomfort in dogs. Even fruits and vegetables can easily cause diarrhea in dogs. Therefore, when these situations occur, parents must promptly adjust their dog’s diet structure, and at the same time, pay attention to the mix of dog food ingredients. If some parents really don’t know what to do, it’s best to consult a professional doctor to keep their dog healthy!

3.Gastritis Gastritis is likely to cause dogs to ruminate, which will produce a series of adverse reactions, such as loss of appetite, lethargy, etc. In severe cases, it will lead to rumination.

PS: It can be seen from the above that the way parents feed their dogs is very important. In fact, there are many parents’ feeding methods that need to be considered. If you are not careful, your dog’s gastrointestinal tract will be damaged. This results in rumination and vomiting. On weekdays, parents should take good care of their pet dogs, try to avoid any harm to them, and let them grow up happily. Only in this way can we as parents feel at ease!
