I had to give him Benadryl and Pepcid today, and I guess the Benadryl made him sleepy, cause right after that, he conked out. The vet suggested children's liquid, but it was really hard for him to take and he started the gagging reflex again, but didn't vomit.
It's just so scary, it like he was fine one minute and seriously ill the next. |
I don't know about Gatorade versus Pedialyte. It would seem to me that Pedialyte would be gentler for them since it is made for children, but I'm not a vet. I've never used Benadryl, but I know with the Pedialyte, Sissy wouldn't drink it on her own, so I used the syringe. She definitely did not like that - but it is quick and effective.
I know what you mean about fine one minute and seriously ill the next. It can come on quite suddenly, particularly if it is from something ingested. And definitely very scary!! These little ones always keep us on our toes!!!
