What causes a dog to throw up for days?

Vomiting may be due to a minor intestinal upset, and can be caused by intestinal parasites or from dietary indiscretion: eating table scraps, garbage, spoiled food, or foul-tasting things such as certain insects.

Pay Attention to Frequency and Duration

If your dog vomits 3 times in 10 minutes then seems to be fine, it’s far less concerning than if he vomits 3 times over a period of 8 hours. Call the vet if it happens over a long period of time, extending into hours of vomiting.

Causes of Chronic Vomiting

Common gastrointestinal causes include: Inflammatory bowel disease, viral or bacterial infection, gastritis (typically caused by garbage ingestion or changing the diet too quickly), pancreatitis, foreign body and neoplasia. Systemic causes include toxicities and kidney and liver disease.

Acute gastritis Causes dogs to vomit once or off and on for one or two days. The cause is usually some kind of dietary indiscretion, which includes the ingestion of spoiled food, garbage, cat litter, bones, plants, grass, molds, fungi, toys, socks, underwear, and other questionable items.

If it’s a one-time occurrence and your pet otherwise acts normally, try withholding food for about 12 hours to give their tummy some rest, suggests Sheen. After that, you can offer your pooch a bland diet consisting of Boiled chicken and white rice For the next 24 to 48 hours to see if the vomiting stops.

Make your dog a batch of Rice, white chicken meat with the skin removed, and cottage cheese. You can also use plain hamburger meat that has been boiled and drained from fat. Initially feed your dog small amounts of this bland food and once 4 hours has passed without vomiting, then you can give your dog a little more.

Here are a few things you can try, to help your dog feel better if they have an upset stomach:

• Withhold food.
• Provide your dog with ice cubes.
• Give your dog bone broth to drink.
• Feed your dog canned pumpkin.

One episode of vomiting is not normally a reason for an emergency veterinary visit, assuming the dog isn’t acting sick. Your regular veterinarian will determine if a visit is necessary, based on your dog. If the vomiting continues, it could indicate a more serious problem.
