My Pet is Vomiting
If your pet is vomiting, it’s important to keep an eye on them and monitor their condition closely. Occasional vomiting may not be a cause for concern, especially if your pet is otherwise acting normally. However, frequent vomiting, lethargy, loss of appetite, diarrhea, or the presence of blood in the vomit are signs that you should seek veterinary care as soon as possible.

Is Your Pet Vomiting?
If your pet is vomiting, it’s important to consider several factors to determine when to call is. If you’re unsure or concerned, it’s always better to err on the side of caution and call us for advice.
Frequency: If your pet vomits once but seems otherwise fine, it may not be a cause for concern. However, if vomiting occurs multiple times in a day or over several days, it’s time to consult a vet.
Other symptoms: If vomiting is accompanied by lethargy, diarrhea, blood in the vomit, loss of appetite, or changes in behavior, it’s a sign something more serious may be happening, and a vet visit is needed.
Foreign objects or toxins: If you suspect your pet has ingested something toxic or a foreign object, seek veterinary care immediately.
Dehydration: Vomiting can quickly lead to dehydration. If your pet isn’t drinking water or keeping it down, see a vet.
Chronic conditions: If your pet has an ongoing medical condition (e.g., kidney disease, pancreatitis), vomiting could be a symptom of that condition worsening.
