She liked to play with the food and eat 3-4 balls at a time, but few times a day.
She started vomiting while she was on t/d food. Prior to that we took her to petshop for her regular haircut. I am afraid she might be stressed there.
We start giving her gastro can food only after vomiting took place.
Now she is taking Sulcrate suspension for 5-6 days and her vomiting has stopped for a while, but today it happened again along with diarrhea. I am not sure why - because of medicine or because of yogurt I gave her. I gave her yogurt before and she never had diarrhea.
I think that Sulcrate is working - but how long we can take it and what if vomiting starts again when we stop giving her medicine? |
sulcrulfate is pepto bismal without the aspirin for dogs. Many dogs are lactose intolerant so i would not use yogurt as can make them worse. I use non-dairy probiotics - it is dds plus and you can get from vitamin shoppe - sounds like your dog first spun out of control from stress colitis then food changes have made it worse most likely. Colitis can be tough to treat if it spins out of control and vomitting is a sign it has as then the entire digestive tract is inflamed both small and large intestine. If just diarrhea then large intestine only is affected. Also t/d may have an ingredient in it for teeth like chlorhexedine like the cet chews which can cause some dogs to vomit and why i do not like it ingested. I use chlorhexedine to wipe the teeth though as it is the best to kill bacteria and why they use for non-anesthetic cleanings and regular cleanings in humans and dogs.
This is just my take - how is your baby doing now?
