I think you should call your vet and ask if your puppy shouldn't be injected with the diphenhydramine for throwing up. Tell them that she has vomited again since you brought her in and that she seems very very thirsty. You have to make it sound urgent, otherwise, they will just blow you off. And with a small dog, you shouldn't take any chances that things might turn into a crisis, just because the vet didn't pay attention to you. |
That IS actually exactly what he gave her the 2nd time we went back (after she started throwing up) the Diphenhydramine - I thought I said that in my post, but I guess not...my mind has just been so boggled
He also sent some home with me and told me to give it to her as needed, every 8 hours - but a low dosage as she is so tiny
He is actually a great vet (the best in town!) - he is very easy and gentle with her and gives her all kinds of kisses...
He told me to call him in the middle of the night if I had to, even if I was just worried about her and needed to ask questions or whatever, he knew how worried I was
