I know I can call the ER vet anytime day or night but it worries me.
Has anyone had a pet with this problem?

u can try hiding her pill in brausnswager or how ever its spelled lol... might want to crush up the pill too if its big , just put it in a baggie and hit it with a small hammer..

Thanks for all the help. She hasn't thrown up, but she hasn't had a bowel movement yet and she lets plenty of awful gas. She is eating but unlike her normal self she has been sleeping alot. I have been dissolving the pills in warm water, she is on pepcid, Sucralfate, and a antibiotic. If she isn't better by Wed. we will have to have a scope and biopsy done on her stomach. I don't even want to think about it, she has never been under anesthesia before. Thankfully my husband is retired and is with her all day. Will keep you updated.

That is so weird, b/c when the vet took an xray of Baby, she said she was SOOO gassy! I saw the xray too. I wonder if something isn't going around! I'm hearing an awful lot of vomiting/diarrhea furbabies out there.

Sucralfate will cause constipation and gas. The cure is fiber. Go get some canned pure pumpkin (without all the spices) and feed her some. This should help with the gas and get her digestive system moving.

Hi all,
Meg is feeling a lot better today, she also took a bowel movement!

and there was no blood, but I will keep an eye out to make sure she is not constipated.
She is still a little sluggish but she went through a lot in the last few days.
I really appreciate all your help and knowledge.
