As for vomiting, it can be caused by affections in the stomach caused by ingestion of non-digestible bodies, a torsion of the stomach, an allergy, food poisoning, a viral pathology, an inflammation of the stomach. IF THE CAUSES ARE NOT IDENTIFYED READY, THE ANIMAL MUST BE TAKEN BY THE VETERINARY If the cause is mechanical, surgery may be necessary, if of viral, microbial, allergic or other origin, the dog must be subjected to appropriate therapy.

2. Diarrhea : can be caused by eating. The various causes include the presence of worms, the proliferation of bacteria, a viral pathology, an exaggerated intake of liquids. In the simplest cases, a dietary change is enough and the diarrhea disappears.
