Vomiting and Diarrhea

Emergency Care for Your Pet From Our Braselton Veterinarian

When Your Pet Needs Immediate Medical Attention

Vomiting and Diarrhea

The most common emergencies we treat at Braselton emergency care involve vomiting and diarrhea. Although dogs and cats may vomit if they eat too quickly or need to empty their stomachs of unwanted substances, an animal that vomits and has diarrhea repeatedly over a 24-hour period needs brought to our emergency room. Unless treated promptly, chronic vomiting and diarrhea due to gastrointestinal disorders, ingestion of toxic substances or kidney/ disease may cause rapid and severe dehydration, shock and organ failure.

Coughing, Choking and Vomiting

Chronic coughing and choking may also incite vomiting and diarrhea. Besides having something stuck in their throats, pets suffering allergic bronchitis, fungal or bacterial pneumonia, heart failure and viral infections may have difficulty breathing, choke and vomit repeatedly. If your pet is coughing, choking and vomiting because of an allergic reaction, his limbs and face may be swollen and his skin may be covered in hives. Bring him to our Braselton animal emergency care center immediately where our veterinarian can administer appropriate treatments and medications.

Vomiting and Diarrhea Caused by Accidental Poisoning

Signs of possible poisoning in animals include:

• Muscle tremors/seizures
• Bloody diarrhea
• Drooling or foaming at the mouth
• Vomiting uncontrollably
• Lip/mouth blistering
• Pawing and/or excessive licking of the mouth
• Fever or reduced body temperature
