My dog is throwing up and won't eat. What OTC medicine can I give?

Question

My dog doesn't want to eat, occasionally throws up some food and lots of saliva. I made him a very thick soup with boiled chicken thighs, carrots, peas and a big sweet potatoes. Is there an over the counter liquid that I can buy until I take him to the Human Society? Please help, I'm unemployed at the time, I'm suffering as much as my dog.

You could try some Pepcid. If he weighs less than 10 pounds give 5mg once a day. If he weighs if he is 10-20 pounds you can give him 5mg twice a day. If he is 20-40 pounds give him 10mg twice a day. If he is over 40 pounds you can give him 15-20mg twice a day. there are a lot of things that can cause vomiting so I would strongly encourage you to see if the humane society can help you with any treatment or low cost medicine. I hope this helps!
