Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Aw, shoot. Do you have canned potatoes or fresh that you could micro? Or, even a healthy cereal? I'm thinking something salty/carby (not toooo salty) - but cereal would be okay, as far as carbs go....

| he got up when I was spooning the yogurt in his bowl & was anxious to eat. Found a some saltines - a bit stale for my taste but he ate them. He also had 1/4 an Early Comfort tab - maybe I should have started with this - this link says it helps with bloating, abdominal pain -- this is an herb for humans also - my holistic vet prescribed it back in March when Bubba was really sick (and this doesn't seem like that) here's what is in the Early Comfort and what it's for Early Comfort 4oz Kan Herb Company Right after he had all his goodies - he went out to lift his leg again and then came into the family room on his own & got up into his favorite spot - on the back of the couch and went to sleep -- hoping he will be so much better in the morning THANK YOU ALL FOR THE HELP

| How is he today? When the stomach is bloated like that and they are lethargic, it is probably best to pull food (if the dog is big enough) unless they are really hungry. Yogurt might settle the stomach (or might not) but beyond that it would seem that adding more could make the problem worse. When you can't get him to drink you can syringe Pedialyte or Pediasure. Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus is severe bloat with the stomach turning. It is extremely dangerous but not common in small dogs. Usually with this the dog will be in severe pain, trying to throw up but can't, making weird noses and restless. Bloat (Gastric Dilatation and Volvulus) in Dogs

| Well, I think he was constipated - this morning when I got up he seemed a bit better, but definitely needed a bath because -- well I'm sure you get the picture. He seemed a lot better after the bath, I gave him some more Early Comfort. He didn't seem that interested in eating -- but then I think I discovered what caused his problem Apparently, my dd knocked a sandwich out of the fridge. He must have tore through the baggy and ate the chicken & turkey sandwich with cheese & mayo . (how she didn't notice ) I found the baggy between his bed and the wall -- I'm thinking he ate it all and Roxy must have been outside when this happened because she is acting as normal as possible. He's still a bit sluggish - but better than last night. Thanks again for all the great advice -- hopefully we won't be in this situation again

| pepto Be careful with pepto. It has aspirin in it and may not be good except for short duration. |
