Hello. The safest thing you can give her is a bit of honey. 1/2 teaspoon every 3-4 hours can be very soothing. You may also want to get this checked out by your veterinarian, especially since she is pregnant. Catching something early is always the best way to go to prevent a much more serious situation in the future. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
