My dog vomited once today..he is not eating rice, but eating dog food..now stool is black color..is there anything to worry?

Dr. Karthik B C

Did you feed chicken or is there any change in his diet ?

Athira Suryanarayanan

No change..he likes the change actually..i was feeding him curd rice and veg rice..he is not eating curd rice and he is eating only veggies from veg rice..when I tried dog food yest, he ate it..today again I gave him rice..he didn't ate it completely and vomited what he ate(rice)

Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi

What's the feeding time of the pet If the interval between two meals is too long that may cause gastric issues and cause vomition Whenever they vomit the intestinal mucosa will be inflammed and cause irritation and may cause further vomition So whenever the pet vomits u can give sucralfate syrup upto 5 ml for 20 kg body weight before food and for next two days try to give curd rice

Athira Suryanarayanan

He is not eating curd rice at all.. giving twice a day, the interval is 10+ hrs..

Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi

The interval is fine but u have to give the food at the same time every day If he is not having curd rice try to give him boiled vegetables with rice, fully mash the rice and then give so that he just doesn't pick the vegetables and leave the rice

Dr. Anukarna Singh

If stool remains black , vet evaluation is important since it could be an indication of melena (digested blood in the stools). Occasional vomitting in the absence of other symptoms can be normal .Darker brown ,formed stools as an occasional occurence can be normal and associated with particular diets.

Sure mam!
