What is the best thing to give a dog after vomiting

Watching the dog curl up in the corner after vomiting, their eyes filled with weakness and helplessness, and every owner's heart was painfully hurt. The once energetic furry child is now listless due to gastrointestinal discomfort. Dogs cannot speak and cannot tell us what they want to eat or where their bodies are uncomfortable. This requires us to use professional knowledge and love to select suitable food for them and help them recover their health as soon as possible. Every feeding choice carries our earnest hope for the dog's recovery.

From the perspective of professional pet nutrition, after a dog vomits, its gastrointestinal tract is in a sensitive and fragile state. At this time, the diet should follow the principles of easy digestion, low stimulation, and balanced nutrition. Firstly, solid food should not be fed immediately after vomiting. It is usually recommended to fast for 2-4 hours to give the gastrointestinal tract sufficient rest. But during this period, it is important to ensure that the dog has sufficient clean water to prevent dehydration. You can use a spoon or syringe to feed the dog a small amount of water at regular intervals and observe if it continues to vomit. If the dog no longer vomits, gradually try feeding it.

When the dog stops vomiting, light liquid food is the best choice, and white rice porridge is a good start. White rice Congee is rich in carbohydrates, which can provide energy for dogs. After being boiled for a long time, the rice grains are soft and rotten, and the rice oil is rich. Rice oil has a protective effect on the gastrointestinal mucosa and helps alleviate discomfort in the gastrointestinal tract. When feeding, the white rice porridge should be cooled to the appropriate temperature to avoid the irritation of the intestines and stomach caused by being too hot or too cold. At the beginning, the feeding amount should not be too much, about 10-20 milliliters each time. Observe for 1-2 hours. If the dog does not vomit again, gradually increase the feeding amount. A small amount of chicken powder can also be added to white rice Congee. The chicken is rich in high-quality protein, which is easy to digest and absorb, but it should be ensured that the chicken is cooked and chopped without any seasoning.

In addition to white rice Congee, pumpkin mud is also suitable food for dogs after vomiting. Pumpkin is rich in pectin, a water-soluble dietary fiber that can form a protective film in the intestine, adsorbing bacteria and toxins, reducing their irritation to the intestinal mucosa, and regulating the water balance in the intestine, making feces more solid. When making pumpkin puree, choose fresh pumpkin, peel and seed it, cut it into small pieces, steam or cook it, and then mash it into a paste. Pumpkin puree has a soft and chewy texture that many dogs enjoy. The amount of food to be fed can be adjusted according to the size of the dog, ranging from 10-30 grams for small dogs, 30-50 grams for medium dogs, and 50-80 grams for large dogs.

For dogs with weak gastrointestinal function after vomiting, they can also choose pet specific prescription food. Prescription food is designed based on the special nutritional needs of diseased animals, with smaller particles, softer texture, and easy digestion. At the same time, the nutritional components of prescription food are scientifically proportioned to meet the energy and nutrition needs of dog body recovery without causing too much burden on the gastrointestinal tract. When feeding prescription food, soak it in warm water according to the product instructions before giving it to dogs. If the dog is not interested in the prescription food at first, try mixing a small amount of prescription food with white rice porridge or pumpkin puree to increase the palatability of the food.

In addition to the above-mentioned foods, dogs can also be fed some probiotics. Probiotics can regulate the balance of gut microbiota, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, promote the proliferation of beneficial bacteria, and help restore normal digestive function in the gastrointestinal tract. There are specialized pet probiotic preparations on the market that can be mixed with food and fed directly. During the recovery process after vomiting in dogs, continuous feeding of probiotics for 1-2 weeks can help consolidate the therapeutic effect and prevent gastrointestinal problems from happening again.

During the process of recovering from vomiting in dogs, it is important to follow the principle of eating small meals frequently. Do not feed your dog too much food at once to avoid further irritation of the stomach and causing vomiting. As the dog's body gradually recovers, it is possible to gradually increase the amount of food fed at each meal, reduce the frequency of feeding, and eventually transition to a normal diet. Meanwhile, it is important to closely monitor the dog's mental state, appetite, and bowel movements. If the dog experiences symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and mental fatigue again after feeding, it should be immediately stopped from feeding and taken to a pet hospital for treatment in a timely manner.

Dogs are the warmest companions in our lives, providing us with endless joy and comfort. When they suffer from vomiting discomfort, we need to use professional knowledge to select suitable food for them and accompany them through the recovery period with meticulous care. Every carefully prepared food, every patient feeding, is our deep love for dogs. I hope that every dog who has vomited can be taken care of by their owner with a reasonable diet, recover their health as soon as possible, and be full of vitality to accompany us, continuing to write a beautiful story that belongs to us and them.
