Our dog is a pekingnese, one year old, and approxametly 10 lbs. She was fine until three days ago when she vomitted some unidentified liquid (color was bright yellow and red). Since then she is very lethargic and has not eaten much. She did eat turkey and water a few times in the last two days when hand fed. She is usually very active and anxious but since has not barked much at all but lays around. No prior illnesses. No signs of pain. Is able to make urine and bowel, no diarrea or major vomitting.

Dear friend,

I am so sorry your baby is not feeling well. She may be dehydrated or hypoglycemic.

She can have pepto, kayopectate or any OTC at www.wolfdancer.org/health scroll down for products and dosages.

She may have a bad tummy ache. I would pick up any dog food.Try a small amount of boiled chicken with all fat drained off, chop meat , or baby food with no onion, beef, turkey, etc

Go very slow so she does not throw it up.

Dogs get dehydrated and hypoglycemic very easily from vomiting.

Add unflavored pedialyte to her water 50/50 to hydrate her and balance her electrolytes.

Put a drop of pancake syrup on her tongue to raise his blood sugar in case she is a bit hypoglycemic. That should perk her up.

Keep her on that very light diet of boiled chicken or chop meat or baby food for 48 hours after all vomiting stops..

Also give her one teaspoon a day of plain yogurt to keep "good" bacteria in her system.

If she develops any abdominal pain, bloating, constipation or cannot keep anything down she needs to be seen by a vet.

Please let me know how she is doing. I will always be here for you

I hope your baby feels better very soon..

Best wishes,

Terri
