I have no way of knowing, because I don't know how sensitive Roxy is. Having had two yorkies that had issues with their stomachs some time during their lifetimes, I know how painful it can be. I wonder if Roxy had anxiety with you being away. That stress could have added to an already upset stomach. It sounds like more than gas to me, but the gas alone is painful and can last for a few days. The pain you described sounds more than gas, though. I would probably try baby gas-x if you think she is having trouble with her stomach or 1/4 tablet of the adult mint pill. That was the dose my veterinarian suggested I give Ashley. I also gave her 1/4 tablet of Pepcid when her stomach was upset. My veterinarian is very careful with medication, so I don't think they will harm Roxy in any way if you need to give them to her. These might make her more comfortable until you can take her to the doctor. An injection of Pepcid is often given when there is an upset stomach when a dog is ill. Good luck with Roxy. I hope she is back to herself soon.
