My dog ate Rolaids. How to relieve her diarrhea and stomach pain?

Question

Sissy ate approximately 4 Rolaids yesterday afternoon. Ever since she has had diarrhea. It is not a lot that ever comes out and it's very watery. But she has had it consistently throughout the night and all day today. Also last night she vomited a yellow very thick and slimy liquid, but she only vomited one time. She has no problem drinking fluids but I can tell her stomach is hurting. How can I relieve the pain and diarrhea. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 25 lbs

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear about Sissy's little dietary indiscretion. Luckily, rolaids are not dangerous to dogs, though they have been known to cause GI upset if more than a couple are eaten. I'm glad to hear that she is drinking water, as my main concern with continued diarrhea is dehydration. If Sissy is lethargic or vomits any more, she should see a vet. If she's acting normal other than seeming like she has an upset stomach, I suggest withholding food for a while (4-6 hours), then try feeding her small meals of boiled chicken and rice. This will help dry up any remaining loose stool, which sounds like it's on the way out, anyway. There isn't much else that you can safely give her at home other than bland food. You might try giving her a piece of bread or a few unsalted crackers, as that yellow liquid you mentioned sounds like bile (usually comes up when the stomach is empty). Any continued symptoms should be evaluated by a vet, but Sissy will in all likelihood recover just fine. Good luck, and I hope Sissy feels better soon!
