This is a YouTube video titled "¿POR QUÉ mi PERRO VOMITA AMARILLO? 🐶🟡 #VETFORMACION #SHORTS" containing a veterinary explanation about the causes and diagnostic approach to dogs vomiting yellow bile. The content provides detailed information on symptoms, possible underlying conditions, and treatment options for pet owners. There is a single speaker providing educational veterinary advice.
The fact that it is yellowish usually occurs because the animal has been fasting for a few hours or has vomited a lot. It has vomited several times in a row, and then there is no more content in the stomach, or it is the first thing in the morning because the animal has not eaten since last night. What happens when vomiting? Well, generally when the owner decides to call the vet to consult. Right. We are going to ask you for a little information about this vomiting. When did it start? Was it acute? If it has been vomiting for some time, how many times has it been vomiting? Also, to know if it is vomiting once a day or six times in less than an hour. Knowing a little bit about the chronicity of vomiting can also give us an idea of whether it is something that has occurred. Like yesterday we had a barbecue and our dog was eating things that weren't supposed to, or if there is a pathology related to a food allergy, or if it could also be a problem with parasites. When we have, for example, a puppy or a geriatric animal, it is especially important that the veterinarian attend to it to prevent at least dehydration. And once we finish our physical exam, then we proceed to do the complementary tests for when we are treating vomiting or diarrhea, sometimes requiring the use of ultrasounds, analytical X rays, because vomiting is not always related to the digestive system. In other words, we may think that vomiting is always related to the digestive tract, but sometimes it can also be of renal or hepatic origin. And many times in unspayed females, there can be an infection of the uterus and also cause vomiting and diarrhea. In this case, once we have the tests, we can give a definitive diagnosis. And at this point, the veterinarian is the one who decides whether the treatment can be symptomatic at home, or if the patient requires hospitalization to try to prevent dehydration. We would also start with antiemetic treatment, gastric protectors, and if necessary, if our animal has had access to a ball, a rag, something, a piece of a toy or something unusual, sometimes they have to go to the operating room to remove the foreign body that is causing this obstruction. And as a result, our animal vomits.
