Question

I have an italian greyhound about a year old. When I came home from work today she had vomited on the carpet, some on my bed and on an old blanket on the floor. My husband thought she may have been in the cat litter. She isn't herself and wouldn't eat her supper tonight although she has urinated and drank some water. What should I do? It is in the middle of the night. The color of the vomit was brown to green.

Hi,

If she becomes lethargic or you notice blood in the stool or vomit, she needs to see her vet promptly. As this is a sign of serious illness including a parasite infection or a blockage among other things. This sounds like a case of upset stomach. You can self treat this at home unless any of the above symptoms start presenting.

I would recommend skipping her next meal and allow her stomach time to rest first. Often the GI track is in such a uproar that anything put in it will come back up. Make sure it is a couple of hours before her next meal. I would then start her on a bland diet of boiled chicken and rice to help settle her stomach.(1 part skinless chicken Breast to 3 parts white rice) I am concerned with her becoming dehydrated as this is quite serious with dogs. I recommend giving her unflavored pedilayte to replace the electrolytes. .

$22.00 in total has been already deducted from my c card. If I accept this will anymore be charged to my c card? I'm not sure how this works. I will gladly accept this answer as soon as you can promise no more will be deducted.

By the way I took my dog to the vet and they gave her an injection to help with her stomach problem. She is doing better and eating again.

Hello,

 

The 22.00 you paid was a deposit to the site. Once you get your answer if you are satisfied you click the accept button the deposit is transferred to myself for the answer I gave. I will send a report to the administration as well so they can contact you if you have any questions about the deposit and payment process.

 

I am glad to hear she is feeling better. If you need anything please let me know.

 

Walter
