| Well, never asked the vet but I gave mine some pepto bismo for their upset tummy and it calmed the vomitting down really quick!!!! I'm not a vet but just figured if it helped the hubby, it would help the Toby boy!!! But I really don't know what else to give them and of course, it is JMO. I have a small plastic tube for administering it so it is in and down his throat before he knows what happened!

| I would think less than that. I guess I give about 1/4 or 1/2 teaspoon depending on how much he is throwing up and also by size. He is 6 lbs. You can always give more rather than overdosing them on it. Again, JMO.

| 1/2 tsp Pepto oughta do it! Used to give this amount to my 5 lb. chihuahua-she had acid reflux sometimes, and needed it. If Layla has diarrhea, DO NOT give Pepto Bismol. Diarrhea is the body's way of getting rid of the toxins, and you should let it take it's course for a few bouts to get the bad stuff out. As always when they're not feeling well, make sure she's getting enough fluid. Push water, give ice cubes, fill a kong with broth and freeze it-anything to keep water moving through her body.
