Dogs Todays Information about dog breeds, food and training
A lot of people have dogs these days. And a lot of those people would like to know the best way to care for their dog when they are sick or have an upset stomach. The answer is that there are lots of ways you can help your dog feel better, but it’s important not to be too quick with your judgement on what will work best.
The first thing you should do is call your vet and see if they recommend anything specific, because sometimes vets may have special advice for certain situations. If the vet doesn’t give any advice though, here are some things that might help:
(1) giving them food that’s easy for them to digest
(2) letting them drink plenty of water
(3) taking away any table scraps from the night before
(4) giving them something for their stomach ache, such as Pepto-Bismol.
In addition to this advice, you may want to give your dog a small amount of white rice if they have an upset stomach. Generally speaking though, it’s best not to give your dog things like bread, chocolate, or artificial sweeteners.
Summary:
Vet check is important if your dog has an upset stomach. Different dogs have different needs when it comes to home remedies for their stomach discomfort. Generic advice includes food that’s easy to digest, water and Pepto-Bismol for stomach aches. Sometimes white rice may be advisable. If your dog is still sick after all the home remedies, it might be best to get in touch with the vet again.
