My puppy is throwing up at night. Can I treat gastritis at home?

Question

I think my 4 month old puppy has gastritis. He is only throwing up at night. His stool is solid and his appetite is normal. However I’m a college student and the vet is expensive, so is there any way to get rid of gastritis at home before going to the vet ?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Vomiting can be observed with gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, food sensitivity, foreign body ingestion and obstruction or other conditions such as pancreatitis or kidney disease. I recommend that you have him evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Likely diagnostics to be performed include abdominal imaging and general bloodwork. Treatment would depend on findings. You could try a bland diet composed mainly of boiled chicken and white rice which is easily digestible and can help with an upset stomach. Good luck and have a great day!
