Why Is My Pet Vomiting Bile?
Bile can be irritating to the stomach and can appear as a yellowish foamy substance. Bile is produced by the liver, stored in the gallbladder and is squirted into the intestines to help with digestion of fats and protein. However, bile can end up in the stomach (due to a stomach valve issue), causing irritation especially if a pet has an empty stomach. If your pet is vomiting bile, it's important to bring them to the vet for an exam. Finding the root cause can bring your pet fast relief.
Here are some of the more common reasons that your dog may be vomiting bile:
Here are some of the more common reasons that your dog may be vomiting bile:
Bilious Vomiting Syndrome: this is a
condition when the bile leaks into other parts of the digestive system (stomach
and small intestine). It occurs most often when your pet has not eaten
frequently enough or ingested an excess amount of fatty food.
Symptom of A GI Condition: Pets can vomit bile as a result of a GI Condition such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD/IBS),
Ulcers, Parasites or acid reflux.
Allergies- Many pets are intolerant of common foods such as poultry or grains. When a pet consumes a food
they are allergic, it can cause acid reflux and vomiting bile.
Pancreatitis: Pets with pancreatitis have very sensitive digestion and require a low fat diet. A pet can have a flare up after eating high fat foods resulting in
inflammation of the pancreas. Symptoms will include vomiting, extreme stomach
pain and diarrhea.
Liver Disease: The liver’s
main functions are detoxification and secreting bile to help digestion. When
the liver is unable to perform these functions, toxins may not be removed, and
symptoms will become more common. Signs of liver disease includes a loss of
appetite, diarrhea and vomiting.
Many times, a change in diet and a few supplements can be life-changing for pets that are vomiting bile.
