Dog swallowed object. Should I give meds for nausea or go to vet?

Question

Hi can I give enrofloxacin doxycycline metroclopromide for a dog with foreign body in intestine ? To avoid nausea. Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Male | unneutered

Andrea M. Brodie, DVM · Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. Enrpofloxacine and doxycycline are antibiotics and are for a bacterial infection. Metoclopramide will just suppress the body;s natural way of trying to get rid of that foreign body. You must take your dog to a veterinarian NOW for an exam and xrays and appropriate treatment. This could be surgery or waiting for the foreign body leaves the body naturally, however a veterinarian must assess the situation.
