Publisher's Synopsis
Nausea is simply an overwhelming feeling of sickness accompanied by an urgent need to throw up. This could be a symptom of an underlying cause or there may be no real clear reason for its appearance. Usually, though, about of feeling sick can raise the possibility that the sufferer is pregnant, has gastroenteritis, is experiencing difficulties with worms or parasites or has (IBD) Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Nausea can also be caused by stress and worry, in particular, separation anxiety. Although there are several possible reasons why your dog is feeling so ill it can also easily be due to a dietary factor such as a new food, eating too quickly, taking food too soon before exercise and plain old greed - eating far too much in one sitting or perhaps the mischievous pup has come across an abundance of grub not meant for him and has sneakily wolfed the lot. Riding in cars and a response to medication are another two reasons why your dog may suffer from nausea, and suffer it can, regardless of its age, size or breed.Typical signs that a dog has nausea are a dry heaving, constant chewing, excessive drooling, and constant licking to name the more prominent examples, but even then, these indications to the health of a dog could easily be dismissed especially if mild. Sadly, because our dog can't tell us he is nauseous and it doesn't present itself as a swelling or obvious cut, it can often go undiagnosed for some time which can sometimes be dangerous and always results in prolonged suffering for the patient. The best tip-off as to where or not the animal is suffering nausea as opposed to a different condition that shows similar tells is if it becomes prone to outright and frequent retching and diarrhea.Dogs are resilient, loveable animals who have been a part of human history for centuries. According to Archaeology Magazine, the earliest potential dog remains, first excavated from the Goyet Cave in Belgium, can be dated as far back as 31,700 years ago. For certain, dogs have been around for at least 10,000 years, playing a vital role in early humans' hunting, rituals, and general companionship.
