Does your dog vomit brown liquid, foam, mucus, or porridge? Then there may be an illness. But also harmless reasons can be the cause of the vomiting. We explain the most common forms and tell you when you should definitely go to the vet.
Dog Vomits Brown, Why?
The dog vomiting brown can have numerous causes. Often the vomit is food that is vomited undigested or half-digested. Possible causes are too fast swallowing of food or gastrointestinal diseases or a change in food. Food intolerance can also lead to vomiting.
If it is a brown liquid, mucus, or blood rather than vomited food, then you should definitely react. There may be a serious illness or injury to the organs.
Dog Vomits Brown Liquid
While dry food is usually vomited in pieces, vomiting wet food can cause the dog to vomit a brown liquid. In most cases, food can be quickly identified by its consistency or smell.
Other possible causes of vomited fluids are infections, digestive problems, kidney disease, inflammation, or poisoning.
If the dog vomits more often or shows further signs of illness, contact the veterinarian immediately.
Dog Vomits Brown with Blood
If your dog is vomiting bloodied, it is important to have your pet examined thoroughly. If the vomit is dark brown in color, it may be blood from the gastrointestinal tract. Possible causes are stomach ulcers, tumors, or foreign bodies that cause internal bleeding.
Any brown, red, and black vomit from the dog may be blood.
Brown vomit with light-colored blood indicates that the upper part of the digestive tract is injured. Oral injuries, bleeding gums, or neck injuries can be the cause.
Dog Vomits Brown Phlegm
If the dog vomits brown mucus, it may be dried blood from the digestive tract. Inflammation of the organs can also be the cause. After swallowing foreign objects, the dog can also vomit brown phlegm.
What to Do If the Dog is Vomiting Brown?
One-time vomiting is usually harmless. However, if vomiting occurs more frequently one after the other or regularly, you should ask your vet to determine whether there is an illness. There is a need for action, especially if there are additional symptoms of the disease. If the dog is vomiting brown with blood, act quickly.
