She gave him a shot of antibiotic, a shot a fluid under his skin, and a pepcid shot. No food for him tonight and tomorrow she wants him to eat this Science Hill Id stuff she gave us. He also can have a quarter of a tablet of Pepcid AC for a few days.
Whew! What a scare this was. I'm happy it's over and my baby is fine. Thank you all so so so much for your concern! I appreciate it deeply!
Now, my last question.. anyone ever use this Science Hill Id food? I usually feed Chicken Soup for the Puppy Lover's Soul. |
Yes, I've had lots of experience with Prescription ID. It has worked on one of my dogs, not the other two who have sensitive stomachs. I find that two days on boiled rice and after, a couple of days on rice and boiled chicken works better on my dogs (heavy on the white rice).
Gradually add the regular food after he's totally alright. I always add the regular food as if I was changing foods, very gradually.
