Symptoms and Treatment of Gastroenteritis in Dogs
Gastroenteritis is the general name for acute or chronic inflammation of the stomach and intestinal lining. Because dogs and cats are meat eaters, the causes are many, from bacteria, viruses, and parasites to drugs and bad food, so diagnosis must be precise. Most cases show on-and-off vomiting and diarrhea, with foam or yellow bile in the vomit. A vet should treat it early, with care centered on fasting, fluids, nutrition, and stopping the vomiting and diarrhea.

Fix it with a quality low-filler diet, a slow-feeder bowl, daily exercise, belly massage, and pet probiotics. If gas comes with diarrhea, vomiting, or weight loss, see a vet.
