Bilious Vomiting Syndrome Symptoms in Dogs

Very typical signs characterize Bilious Vomiting Syndrome in  Dogs (BVS) but frustrating due to its unpredictable pattern. The most constant sign is early-morning or late-night vomiting; it usually occurs when the  dog’s stomach is empty. The vomit itself is yellowish and frothy, from the bile created by the liver. Other signs that might be combined with this include a decrease in appetite, and some evidence of nausea, along with periodic lethargy. These symptoms flare erratically but usually worsen progressively with time, making their way to intrude into the dog’s life to cause some moderate degree of discomfiture.

Home Remedies for Canine Bilious Vomiting

Some home remedies may help alleviate some of the symptoms in dogs with mild cases of BVS. One good remedy is to feed small meals more frequently in the day, which prevents the stomach from going a long time without food inside thus reducing the time a free flow of bile is encountered. Some bland foods like cooked chicken and rice can calm the stomach. Ginger, on its own, has anti-nauseant properties and can be fed in small amounts, but that must only be done under the advice of a veterinarian. Probiotics as well as pumpkin puree have been proven to be beneficial for digestive health and for reducing gastric irritation.
