sheryl Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Our 8 year old Lab threw up today just a bit. And, she is drooling a little here and there....enough to wipe up after her. Bless her heart. She has NOT had diarrhea. What OTC would you recommend for an upset tummy. I haven't seen Soph here for about 2 years, so my request is sent out to you...general forum. TIA!

2cents Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 With those symptoms I'd be visiting the vet. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingnlearning Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Don't feed her anything, offer her small drinks of water. Feel her belly, does she seem to have a sore spot or all good? Look at her gums, are they baby girl pink, not white or dark pink? If you press them with your finger does the blood refill quickly? All systems go on those, I myself would just pull the food until tomorrow and see how she does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the above. No need to panic. Are her gums pink? Does she seem to be feverish, seem distressed/in pain, or have any other symptoms? If all else is well, just pull the food and keep a close eye on her. Best wishes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celticmom Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I would definitely check for symptoms of bloat. If it is bloat that is definitely a medical emergency. http://www.globalspan.net/bloat.htm#Symptoms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave her a bland diet yesterday, Wed, and today, TH. Will gently re-introduce her dog food starting tonight with a bit of gr beef/rice mixture. She's not drooling today! YEA!

Catwoman Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Thanks for the update -- I was wondering how she was doing! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
