My dog has pyometra and is nauseous. How can I help her eat?

Question

Hello, my 12 y/o dog was diagnosed with open pyometra and was prescribed 34mg of Baytril given twice daily. The medicine makes her a little nauseous and with her full stomach area, it has caused her to lose any interest in food. We have resorted to blending chicken with low-sodium broth until a liquid is made, and then administerimg small amounts via syringe. Is there anything we can give or do to help trigger her appetite? Perhaps, Pepcid for the nausea? Thank you in advance. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed | 18 lbs

Maybe baytril is not the only reason for the nausea, Pyometra is also known to cause nausea and vomiting. Baytril is also not enough to treat pyometra, Prostaglandin as well as Alyzin need to be prescribed. generally speaking your vet can try giving her Cerenia to try and treat the nausea, if it does not help i strongly recommend having her spayed urgently.
