Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Border Collie | Male | unneutered | 7 years and 2 months old | 59 lbs

took my dog to the vets yesterday because he kept being sick I was given ( once a day PROMAX ) and ( Cephacare tablets 500mg one and a half twice a day) and told not feed him for three days and take him back to the vets on Monday, we had to struggle to give him his meds because he is not allowed food with them and within 5 minutes he has been sick.

If he is unable to tolerate oral fluids and medications he should be admitted to a clinic for injectable medications and possibly intravenous fluids also. Please contact your vets office to discuss his progress
