Well, Tibbe tends to constipation, if anything & his only bout of diarrhea in 4 years of having him was 3-11-12 after he ate some marinaded chicken bites. Pepto-Bismol seems to shut him down, if you get my drift, so, since he has nausea medication, I hesitate to use anything more for nausea. I'm not even sure he is really nauseated. He hasn't spit up any foam since Monday but thought I'd try that medication today in case he was nauseated & that was why he'd refused food most of the day.
It seems like today's problems may - may just be due to taking the Pepcid with its known side-effects of lethargy & appetite suppression & the change in his diet once again causing some tummy distention. Should he have diarrhea, I might ask the vet if okay to give him some Pepto.
He finally ate 1/4 cup of his Royal Canin G-I after I soaked it in warm water this afternoon. He played some outisde then went right back to bed after his today's dose of Pepcid. He's been asleep since, though he's easily aroused. I've seen no burping/belching followed by the swallowing/licking since he started the Pepcid & no reverse sneezing either. If Pepcid would make me sleep like it does him, I might start taking it at night!
