(can you give a dog Pepto) When vomiting green bile? HELP?

Question

chiu. / pomp. mix 8wks old. Eating / drinking fine kibbles n bits

Answer 1

No! No Pepto!
Call your Vet! That is very serious.

Answer 2

You can but I would be very cautious about giving it if you have carpet. If the puppy vomits it will stain your carpet pink. I speak from experience. Sometimes it is caused by their tummy staying empty too long. Feed several small meals a day and make sure not to let the dog go too long between dinner and breakfast. I have the same problem with my shih tzu. If the puppy vomits more than a few times better check with the Vet. Puppies got downhill quickly if they vomit very much.

Answer 3

Kaopectate is a better remedy for dogs stomach problems, but if the dog continues vomiting you should take him to the vet. Since it is a puppy and a small breed it is even more important to keep him from getting dehydrated. A puppy can get extremely sick very quickly. If he hasn't been recently take him to the vet.They can be sure he has not got worms or perhaps parvo. Which if it is either of those will need vetrinary treatment to cure.

Answer 4

1. Kibbles and Bits is BAAAADDDD food. I'd throw up too if I was eating it. Switch foods ASAP.

2. You can give 1 mL or 1 mg of Pepto per pound of body weight once every 12 hours.

Here's some better brands of food to try:
Artemis
Avoderm
Canidae
Solid Gold
Wellness
Wysong
Merrick
Chicken Soup
Innova Evo

Low quality foods can lead to a lot of problems, especially right now, there's been massive contamination of the suppliers that low quality companies use. Feeding contaminated foods can cause liver failure which is automatic death to a dog. Please don't wait! Switch now.

If the dog doesn't stop vomiting after a few hours with the Pepto, see a vet.

Answer 5

This is not good due to the fact that your puppy is so young. Take him to the vet. Immediatley. Even though he is drinking well, dogs that young get dehydrated very easily. Try this until you get him to the vet. Give ice chips for the dog to suck on. Its less water and may help the vomiting. But he really needs to go to the doctor now if you can.

Answer 6

My beagle was vomiting green bile due to something he ate. I contacted the vet and he told me that you can give a dog pepto but need to watch the dosage due their size. My beagle weighed 30 pounds so I was to give him a teaspon of pepto every 3-4hrs and if he vomitted it up then to give it to him again right away. Hope this helps.

Answer 7

I have given my dogs small amounts of pepto, on certain occasions, but it sounds like a simple case of your dog may have been out eating grass. They do this if they have upset stomach or they are constipated. It is natural. But I do firmly agree with your other answer you received. A vet is always the best solution.

Answer 8

Ewwww get him some better dog food !
If he is throwing up, and it's green, it's likely grass that he has eaten, or he got into something.. You don't really want to stop vomiting unless you know what is causing it.. It might be something that he needs to get out of his system. You should make sure he has access to good clean water.. Buy him some GOOD dogfood, and if he isn't feeling better then take him in to be checked by the vet in case he got into something.

Answer 9

Something is seriously wrong with your pup.You need to take him in the vet right away.You can give Pepto but you need to talk to a vet on how much.The whole matter needs to be seen at a vet.Don't try to self med your pup on your own.call and go now to a vet.

Answer 10

i have been told by a vet, that very low doses would be okay for some cases. but sorry, this is not one! unless there is green dye in the food making it look that way, your dog is VERY ill. stopping the vomiting may kill him. it is the bodies way of trying to get ride of the infection. take him to the vet. ASAP.

Answer 11

Stop feeding your dog, and take him to the vet. Then switch foods, as such poor quality food is bad for dogs. Try Canidae, Royal Canin, Science Diet, or Chicken Soup. Many of these brands are available cheap at feed stores (where they sell things for livestock and horses).

I get Canidae at my local feed store for WAY cheaper then what I could get at a pet store!
