Vomiting

Dogs eat too quickly or too much when eating. The grain particles are not chewed fully and enter the digestive tract. This can easily stimulate the upper gastrointestinal tract and make the dog feel uncomfortable and vomit the food. come out.
Judgment: Relatively complete particles and saliva of dogs can be seen in the vomitus. This kind of physiological vomiting generally does not have a great impact on dogs. The dog will continue to eat after a short rest and its appetite will not be affected. Pet owners do not need to worry too much.
Recommendation: If the dog has the above-mentioned physiological vomiting, it is recommended that the pet owner choose a slow-feeding bowl or feed small amounts multiple times to slow down the dog's eating speed.
Most common in Labradors, French bulldogs, English bulldogs and other snack foodies who can't stop eating.

Indigestion

If the dog often eats too much (large types of food and large amounts of food), it is easy to cause indigestion in the dog. The intestinal tract of dogs is relatively shorter than that of humans, and the types and quantities of intestinal flora are far less than that of humans. Therefore, dogs’ food digestion time is shorter than that of humans (the time for gastric emptying after eating) About 7-10 hours), and cannot adapt to rapid food changes.
Indigestion in dogs may cause soft and smelly stools in dogs. In severe cases, it may cause gastritis and other digestive tract diseases.
Note: Vomiting is also a symptom of gastritis, but vomitus often contains blood, pus or floc. After drinking a lot of water, vomiting will be aggravated. It is also accompanied by symptoms such as loss of appetite, poor mental status, elevated body temperature, and increased desire to drink. Pet owners need to pay attention to the distinction and take the dog to the doctor in time.

Obesity

There are many reasons for dog obesity, such as breed reasons; limited activity venues and relatively little exercise; diseases: overfeeding, etc.
Dogs are very likely to become obese if they overeat for a long time.
Obese dogs are more susceptible to joint wear, heart disease, respiratory problems, blood pressure, immune function and other problems. For short-legged dogs such as Dachshunds, Pekingese dogs, and Japanese puppies, obesity also increases the burden on their lumbar spine and back, increasing the incidence of intervertebral disc disease.

Gastric dilatation-gastric volvulus

Gastric dilatation-gastric volvulus (GDV) is an acute disease that can be fatal. If the treatment is not timely, the dog may die within 1-3 hours, with a mortality rate of up to 100%; even if the treatment is timely, the mortality rate is still 15%-60%.
To put it simply, gastric dilatation-gastric volvulus is like a knot in the stomach, which causes the gas originally in the stomach to accumulate rapidly and prevents blood from flowing normally, causing ischemia and damage to other internal organs. In severe cases, necrosis, eventually leading to death from shock. Gastric dilatation will occur soon after gastric volvulus, which is more common in large dogs over 2 years old and dogs with deep and narrow chest cavities.
