bleu just started dry heaving can i give him albon for this it is after hours and this is a roller coaster to say the least!

Why don't you grill up a nice piece of chicken breast and give him that. Has he eaten recently. Usually when the dry heaves happen it's because their tummies are empty. Maybe scramble up an egg. The protein is good and it will cook up fast.

When you cook chicken it has to be boiled and plain - no spices ever!

No spice in their food..not good for their tummies. When I give it's plain grilled chicken.

kalina82 · 01-14-2008, 04:01 PM

Albon is for worms so its going to do absolutely nothing for dry heaving. sorry.

Patti · 01-14-2008, 04:01 PM

Several of my dogs have not been able to tolerate chicken and if it was spicy it may have been what caused the tummy upset. I have learned to just keep mine on their strict dog food only diet and it helps with some of the tummy issues. I feel so bad you have had such a hard start with Blue. As they get older things tend to settle down.

WidsMom · 01-14-2008, 04:16 PM

Yes, Albon is for Coccidia. I've always kept a jar of Gerber Turkey on hand for tummy upsets. A little of that warm with just a sprinkle of rice baby cereal.

Sometimes the Albon can be upsetting itself, especially on an empty tummy. Maybe that's all it was....

Hugs to you and Bleu,
Joy

Vets use ALBON for almost any kind of stomach ailment. Coccida, stomach virus, etc. a lot of breeders give their healthy puppies a seven or ten day course of ALBON, before they go to new homes, "just in case". To the OP, sometimes dry heaves is a sign of low sugar. Is he lethargic or just dry heaves?

I didn't know that! I always thought it was for specific parasites.

Thanks,

I just looked at Maggie's instructions for Metacam and it says that it can cause digestive upsets. To lessen the likelihood always give with food or immediately after a meal. Should any vomiting diarrhea or loss of apetite occur, discontinue meds & call office.
I know that you've had experience with the Metacam, I just wanted to add what it says here.
