I think Tate is feeling a little sick at her stomach.... QUESTION?

[stedmansmommy]

I hear her little tummy gurgling and I can just see in her little eyes that she doesn't feel well It's nothing serious though, I think her tummy is just feeling a little sick-ish. She ate grass today also, which is another reason why I think this. Her stool was not near as firm as it normally is, but she DIDN'T have diarrhea either (it was anywhere near that loose).

I want to give her some Pepto Bismol, but I can't remember for the life of me how much we are supposed to give them? Does anyone know or is there a chart somewhere?

Awww, thank you so much Kristen, you are so sweet I hope she feels better soon too - I was sick not long ago with the nasty throw ups (yuck) and I just know how awful it is to feel sick at your stomach so I want to try and make her better as soon as possible

I just looked online and found this: The typical dose administered to dogs is 0.5 to 1.5 ml per pound per day (1 to 3 ml/kg/day).

I should of had this written down, stupid me! I gave some to Stedman LONG ago and my vet told me how much to give, but of course I didn't write it down. Although I'm thinking Tate should have less than Stedman because she weighs less anyway?

Does anyone know if the 0.5 to 1.5 ml per pound per day dosage is right?? I will wait until I hear back from someone before I give her any.

I always give Chloe 0.8 cc's (note the point)

Edited to add, that is .8 total I give her not .8 per pound. That seems like a lot.

Hope she feels better!

before giving pepto i usually just give a tablespoon of yogurt. it tastes better and helps to start things moving along

I have a conversion chart inside my medicine cabinet door in my kitchen. I'll run upstairs and tell you what it says. It converts human meds for animal usage. BRB.

[Breny]

Ok - its 1 tsp for every 5lbs every 6 hours. This is what I use I use a syringe to administer it. It makes it a whole lot easier! Hopes she's feeling better soon!

Thank you so much girl, you are always soo sweet! I think she is feeling a little better - although, she has pretty much just been sleeping for the most part. She did jump up to eat some crushed ice though when she heard me filling my glass up at the fridge, so that's a good sign Tate LOVES ice!

Hugs to you and your cutie pie angels!!
