| can I give pepto bismol for vomiting? Hannah vomited today at 3:00pm and again at 4:00pm. She vomited cottage cheese that she ate this morning...there was even some of the missing link still left in it. I hadn't given her any cottage cheese in 3-4 days but before that she was getting it every day without any problems. Her temp is 100.3. Now she is just laying around. I called the vet at 4:40pm and they said that there would be a $25.00 office fee and $35.00 after hours fee. They don't close until 6:00 pm so I asked why the after hours fee and she said that the doctor leaves at 5:00. I said that if he is going to charge $35.00 for staying over for 20-30 min then I would go somewhere else since they are closed tomorrow anyway. I called the other vet that I use and he was already out. If she gets any worse I will call the emergency number, but can I give her peptobismol or anything? We were in the car driving when this happened but she has never been car sick before. I think it may be a virus or something since the cottage cheese she had this morning wasn't digested yet. She has never vomited before. Has this ever happended to anyone else. |

Pepto doesn't do anything for vomiting, its just for upset stomach. She'll probably just puke it right back up. The best thing to do is not feed her or give her water and let her stomach settle. If she vomits again i'd take her to the vet.

| Mylo got very sick with vomits and diahrrea when he mas about 8 weeks old, and the vet told me to give him peptobismol. But I guess how much you can give him depends on his weight. He was given 1cc and he was about 1lb then. I will still be better if you checked with a vet for the correct dose

Next week i have to take morgan back to the vet for a dental check up because i don't think all her teeth have fallen out in the back. I guarentee that appt will cost me at least $80 and all the vet is doing is checking her mouth. no shots, or meds probably.

| Grayson has threw up 4 times today and the vet told me to give him a 1/2tsp of pepto take away all foods and give little water for 24 hours after 24 hours feed boiled chicken and white rice and if not better by Friday I am to come back. Good luck, for me this is not fun!!

| This is simply my personal opinion, when dogs/people vomit or suffer from diarrhea, usually, body is trying to get rid of the unwanted. In this situation, I may wait until your baby gets rid of everything out of her system then give your baby some anti acid (tablet for children, which I forgot the name but it was given to my dog by the vet when she got sick), only concern of mine with pepto bismol would be the artificial color it contains... I hope your baby feels better... Last edited by miamymia; 01-31-2007 at 03:52 PM. Reason: spelling error! |
