Poor Dorro! It could be he ate something that has upset his stomach. I can give you a home remedy to try to see if that helps. Withhold food for 6-8 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the vomiting starts in the absence of food, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck, I hope this helps.

Whats a good home remedy for dog with upset stomach
This is a very common question fortunately. Try something like fasting your pup for 12-24 hours then feeding 2-3 days of plain boiled chicken / hamburger rice. You might also think about obtaining a probiotic from a pet store. There are several reputable brands. Hope this helps.

Is it ok to give my 5 month pug emergen c plus if he has upste stomach? Thank you
No, I don't recommend it. It's a human medication not labeled for us in dogs, and it's not a treatment for an upset stomach anyway. I can give you a home remedy to try to see if that helps. Withhold food for 6-8 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If he vomits in the absence of food, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

About two weeks ago I took my dog for her adequin injection she gets extremely anxious at the vet and we had to wait about 1 hour to be seen due to covid. The next day she got diarrhea and it lasted one day then about 5 days later she got it again an
It could be Poochie has a stomach illness causing her diarrhea, or she may have eaten something outside causing it. Sometimes these things can happen. I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps her. Feed her a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, she refuses to eat the bland diet, she starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!

My dog has diarrhea and gas... He has a temperature of 38.1 so no fever. I was wondering what food is best to give him because I heard dry food is no good during diarrhea.

My pug has diarrhea what causes it and can she maybe drink gastron or custard and water?
These signs could be compatible with a colitis, which is an inflammation of the last part of the colon, usually related to dietary indiscretion. As a first approach, I would suggest to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.

My dog got into some left over Pizza and ate about 6 pieces. You can tell that his stomach is upset and he wants to go out and pee about every 15 minutes. What can I do to help him?
That wasn't good that your dog ate all that pizza! The concern about that much pizza is that not only does it cause stomach upset, the fat can cause pancreatitis. I can give you a home remedy to try to see if that helps him. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
