What disease has excess vomit and dehydration in dogs?

Answer 1

hemorrhagic gastroenteritis is one such disease. I just went through it with my dog who has been on NSIDs for 4 years due to his advanced elbow and hip Arthritis. It is a potential complication of this type of therapy. There will sometimes be be traces of blood in the vomit and stool. It will dehydrate your dog very quickly. If you can't get to the vet right away, do this: stop feeding the dog so his stomach has a chance to calm down and the vomitting and resulting fluid loss slows. Over the counter Pepsid will also help lower the acid level and calm the gut. Your dog can go days without a meal, but not very long while low on fluids. Dehydration can cause kidney and liver failure if it gets out of hand. Administer pedialyte at a rate of 2-4 cc (or mls, they are the same), per pound of body weight, per hour to slowly rehydrate the dog. The internet has many sites that have detailed descriptions of what canine dehydration looks like. If the dog shows signs of dehydration in the gums, eyes and skin, get to the vet ASAP.
