| Help Thrown up 4 Times Today Hello YT I have some bad news I think Polo is sick with something. So this Morning I fed him his normal food eggs and kibble. And a little bit later he threw up 2 times all the food he ate. So then later at dinner time I feed him a little bit of chicken with kibble. I heard Chicken is good for sick tummies? he threw that up too then not very long ago he ate some plain kibble, and threw that up he obviously can NOT keep any food down. Is it possible for dogs to get stomach bugs? Should I take him to vet? is there any food that I can feed that he can keep down? please please I need some answers I don't what is the matter with him |

| Boiled hamburger and rice is pretty easy on the tummy. You can try a little pepto too. I found this amount to give them on a site: Pepto Bismol Try no more than 1 tablespoon of Pepto Bismol for dog diarrhea. Specifically .5 to 1.5 ml per pound orally every 12 hours Pepto helps w/upset too.

| You should give Famotidine. I don't know if you are near a Wal-mart or if they are open but I buy it there. The equate Acid Controller is Famotidine 10mg and give 1/4 tab every 12 hrs. Otherwise I believe Pepcid is Famotidine. Do you have a dropper? if so in about 2 hrs give a small amt of water if he keeps that down give more in another 2 and so on . But if he throws it up don't give any more. If you can get the Famotidine that would be very helpfull. Last edited by lillymae; 11-26-2009 at 06:43 PM. |

I didn't read your 2nd sentence. Is he throwing up everything you're giving him? Do you think it's a blockage? Has he gotten into anything?

| Because he is so small and young you need to keep a close eye on him through the night. Watch for dehydration and hypoclycemia. These little ones can go down hill so fast. If he's not much better by morning take him to the vet. |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Sorry your little guy is sick. That is a lot of throwing up in one day I would watch him closely and if he shows any signs of being wobbly or dehydration take him in to a ER vet. Hopefully it is a bug and he will be better tomorrow.
