Home Remedy for my dog stomach sick?

Question

My dog has stomach sickness I guess, he doesn't feel good, it vomiting saliva.. do you know any home remedy?

Answer 1

Is he eating, does he have diarrhea, is he lethargic? He can have Pepto which is given by weight, you'd need to call the vet to get the correct doseage. He may also want him on a bland diet of boiled rice and meat for a day or two, or he may want you to withhold food for a day. Call them and ask them of their procedure.

Answer 2

My dog does this, but she is an elderly dog with stomach ulcers. I do recommend that you take your dog to the vet to check out why he is sick. For now, the dog needs a blander diet - think of what you do when you are vomiting. If the dog usually eats hard food, switch to a canned dog food that is made for sensative stomachs (it will say this on the can). You can even water down the canned food with Pedialyte or Liquilyte (from the baby food aisle in the grocery store) to make the food even more digestable. This really helps my dog. However, there is a reason for this vomiting and medication might be in order, so you really should go see a vet.

Answer 3

Define "a bunch". Were they milk chocolate or dark chocolate? How big is your dog? A husky is a 40-50 lb dog, typically, a GSD is typically a 70+ lb dog. Weight certainly factors into this. The average dog can consume 1 ounce of milk chocolate per pound of body weight or 1 ounce of dark chocolate per NINE POUNDS of body weight. However, dogs can become seriously ill after consuming much smaller amounts, it varies from dog to dog. A 12 oz bag of dark chocolate kisses can kill your dog. Not to mention the sugar overload is bad for him, as well as the caffeine. Watch for the following symptoms of Theobromine (toxic chemical in chocolate) poisoning over the next 12 hours: Hyperactivity Nervousness/trembling Vomiting and/or diarrhea Excessive thirst and/or urination Muscle spasms/twitches or full on seizures Watch for the following symptoms of intestinal problems caused by the tinfoil: A hot, tight/hard belly Vomiting, with or without red or brownish tinge (blood) Diarrhea, with or without red or blackish tinge (blood) Constipation lasting more than a day Signs of physical pain If any of the signs of poisoning or intestinal blockate/perforation show the vet should be informed IMMEDIATELY, even if you have to call him at home in the middle of the night. Since you aren't checking this until tomorrow morning it will be far too late to induce vomiting, so all you can do is keep your fingers crossed. If your dog becomes ill then veterinary intervention is necessary, there is no home remedy for an obstructed or perforated bowel, it is typically fatal without surgury. If the dog has eaten enough chocolate to become poisoned then vomiting alone will not be enough. Activated charcoal is the main treatment and the dog's vitals must be closely monitored and the dog's basic life functions may have to be maintained until the theobromine is out of its system.

Answer 4

Looks like you got your answers. From my own experience, as well as caring for other pets this would be my answer. Like everyone said, and this is from my Vet too, withold all food, treats, etc. for 24 hours, MAKE SURE he has plenty of water. Depending on the pets weight, Pepto is OK to use, just make sure you give the correct amount, again call your Vet for that answer. And, like everyone else has said start the dog on boiled rice and hamburger, completely drained of fat or grease. If you doggy shows no improvement get to your VET. Hope he feels better.

Answer 5

Aww!! Poor little thing!!

I just got my dog over an upset tummy - so this is advice straight from my vet:

1) take up food and treats for 24 hours. Let his tummy settle down. Give him lots of ice cubes & water, and if you wish, pediactric electrolyte (up to 1/4 cup every few hours) to help prevent dehydration.

2) Pepto Bismol is safe to give a dog up to 3x a day. Check with your vet for proper dosing.

3) After 24 hours, re-introudce food by giving your pup cooked hamburger and rice in small amounts.

Answer 6

first you need to know why the dog is vomiting. everyone vomits for a reason. sometimes we need to do this to remove any impurites in our body. If it has swallowed any kind of poision it is best to let it vomit it up. otherwise a shot of pepto is fine for a little bit. but keep an eye on the dog.no more than 1 day

Answer 7

More than likely a home rememdy will not work because If a dog is sick they will not feel like eating or trying it anyway. Make sure he has plenty of water. If it last more than a day or so and he is not trying to eat take him to see a vet.

Answer 8

Give him rice for dinner instead of his dog food and if the vomiting continues for a day more call the vet.

Answer 9

Try a mixture of white rice and ground hamberger, cooled to room temperature.

If that doesn't help, you should really get the dog to a vet.
