At the vet’s, they’ll examine your dog and may run certain tests, such as bloodwork or images. They will also ask you questions about your dog’s overall health and if he has been eating or doing something different recently.
Treatment of Pug Throwing Up
Treatment of your dog’s vomiting depends on the vet’s diagnosis and the severity of your dog’s symptoms. In cases where your fur baby has an upset stomach, the vet may prescribe medications to stop the throwing up and to calm the stomach.
The vet may also advise feeding your Pug a special diet for a few days to give the stomach time to calm down.
However, all of this depends on your dog’s diagnosis. The main takeaway is that if your Pug has any concerning symptoms and is throwing up, it’s time to call the vet. The sooner your Pug is treated, the sooner he can feel better!
