Home remedies for my dogs upset stomach?
My 5 year old Rott got ahold of some apple pies she shouldnt have eaten and now she is paying the price. Her stomach is making sounds that are making me cringe.Does anyone know of any home remedies that will help ease her discomfort? Thank You in Advance!!!
Oh my! Yes, Pepto Bismol is generally safe for dogs. If her illness lasts more than 48 hours you should take her to your vet in case she developed pancreatitis or enteritis from the incident.
Very often a meal rich in sugars and fats will shock their digestive system, causing the pancreas to inflame and become angry, which is very painful and actually dangerous, the dog can die from a severe case. If their bowels have trouble processing it or passing it along, they can also develop a nasty infection. Both pancreatitis and enteritis cause vomiting and diarrhea, as well as anorexia. If you observe these symptoms definitely see your vet. If not, let the Pepto work its magic ^.^
Feed her a bland diet for a day or two (depending now how quickly she recovers – steamed rice and boiled, skinless chicken) to avoid any further insult to the system. When she is feeling better she can go back to her regular dog food.
Good luck, hope she feels better soon!
