Tucker is sick. Need advice. Tucker was up all night last night and had me up with him because he had an upset tummy and diarrhea. He had about 3 or 4 bad runny poops between 1:30am and 11:00 am this morning. I called the vet and they told me to get childrens immodium and give him half of a childrens dose. I did that and he did not poop any more today till about 10 minutes ago at 9:00pm. Again it was runny diarrhea. Does anybody know if I can give him more of the immodium or how often you can give something like that? About an hour ago he was sitting in my lap and started making noises like he was going to throw up but he didnt. He is whining a bit when he crawls up in my lap like he is trying to tell me he doesnt feel good. My husband thinks I am crazy for acting like the dog talks to me but I just tell him to be quiet. Tucker is my baby and he just doesnt get it. He is concerned about him too though. Any suggestions? |
You can give Tucker Immodium every 4-6 hours for 24 hours as prescribed by your vet. Toy breed dogs can dehydrate really fast so if he isn't better by morning, he needs to be seen by your vet as he will probably need fluids. This is a good website to bookmark: OTC Medications |
Pam, you can also try giving tucker some pumpkin that comes in the can. Just make sure it pure pumpkin and not the pie mix....hope he's better by tomorrow... |
thanks for that link ladymom. It has some really good info. I did book mark it. Ryan, thanks for the pumpkin suggestion. How much should I give him and should that me the main thing he eats or so or mix it with his food? |
when lola had the runs..I gave about 1-2 tablespoons mix with her kibble and she ate it up and problem solved... |
