| Dry heaves 12 hours after surgery Little Goldie had three teeth pulled and a cyst removed yesterday. She seemed to be doing pretty well last night. She ate two small meals. The second time she ate, at about 8:00 PM, she took 1/8 of a Tramadol for pain. (That's about 6mg). At midnight, Goldie started having violent dry heaves. It was terrible to watch. She'd dry heave a few times, then sleep for a while, then it would start again. Then this morning, she started bringing up white foam, which also happens when her stomach is too empty in the morning, so I wasn't too worried about the foam, but the heaving looked so painful! I took her back to the vet, and of course the 45 minute car ride cured her. No dry heaves or anything. The vet checked her out, said she seemed fine, and sent us home with an anti nausea pill, in case we had a relapse. Goldie ate a small meal when we got home, and is sleeping now. I'll feed her again shortly. My big decision now is whether to give her Tramadol again. I'm thinking that may be what upset her stomach. I wish I had asked the vet today for another pain killer. It's too far for me to drive back there. What would other people do? |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | If it were me, I'd be giving the anti nausea pill about 45mins prior to the pain pill. Remember too that anytime post-surgery, the throat can be very irritated (from anesthesia intubation) and could stimulate gagging for a few days after surgery - so it could just be that.

| Thanks Wylie's mom for your response. Since Goldie didn't seem to be uncomfortable, I skipped the pain pills. I've been feeding her every four hours. If I wait longer than that, the stomach issues come back. I agree with you that intubation, combined with the fact that it's allergy season for her, have been a problem. I restarted her Claritin yesterday, which has helped. All in all, she's doing pretty well, I think. She's even tried to play a couple times! I'm very happy with Riser Vet Hospital in Skokie, IL. (Dr. Baksys.) We usually use a house call vet, who recommended Dr. Baksys for the surgery. |

An anecdote - one of my best friends is on SWAT and is also a major violent fugitive detective; they have a dog on their team when apprehending a fugitive by surprise. Recently, that amazing kiddo was shot *twice* during an apprehension - that dog stopped briefly after the 1st shot, then went right back to his job and didn't stop after being shot again. Granted, this kiddo was fueled by adrenaline - but still - *that* is an example of the extent a dog can mask issues. The good news, is that kiddo's injures were amazingly minor in terms of not doing any permanent damage - he will be okay.
