My dog is nauseous every morning after surgery. Any OTC remedies?

Question

What is the best 'over the counter medication' for a dog having nausea in the early hours? He wakes me around 4-5AM salivating and wanting to vomit. He eats every day at 8 but has recently had surgery for an intestinal blockage, i.e. a ball. He also had just lost his best friend.

If he recently had intestinal surgery and is experiencing nausea than you should call your vet and give him/her an update. Your vet may want to recheck him to make sure it is not related to the surgery. There really isn't a good over the counter medication for nausea but your vet could prescribe an anti-vomiting medication and antacid. You could add a probiotic to his diet, like Proviable or Fortiflora and see if that helps. Also, feeding him a gastrointestinal diet may help, too.
