Usually, it's regurgitation. Your dog may have eaten too much, too fast, or they may be suffering from stress. Megaesophagus is also a possibility, so you'll want to check with your vet to be sure. If your dog is vomiting, it usually happens at least a few minutes after your dog has eaten.
Why does my dog throw up undigested food hours after eating?
Megaesophagus is a condition that makes a dog regurgitate food. Most of the dogs that vomit undigested food due to digestive upsets are caused by this condition. It comes about when the esophagus gets dilated, weakening the muscles. As a result, food will either move the tract slowly or won't move at all.
When should you be concerned about a dog throwing up?
Prompt attention from a veterinarian should be sought if your dog vomits multiple times in one day or for more than one day in a row. In addition, you should seek veterinary attention if your dog shows the following symptoms accompanied by vomiting: Loss of appetite. Change in frequency of urination.
Should I feed my dog after vomiting undigested food?
When your dog swallows something that's too large, he simply brings it back up. The expelled contents are usually stuck together, covered in mucus, and almost completely undigested. Even though it's gross, it's perfectly normal for your dog to re-eat his regurgitated food.
