My baby is sick

Abbie Oz · 02-24-2013, 11:18 PM

We rescued Abbie just over a month agao. She is a three year old GSD. She came with a very bad skin condition. We took her to the vet and she is now on antibiotics. She is losing her appetite and has gotten sick to her stomach. Poor baby. Any tips on how to help her more than we are.

We know it is the pills, but her skin was terrible so I know we have no choice with the med situation. Thanks

can the vet switch to another antibiotic ? are you giving meds on an empty stomach ? can you ask your vet if it is ok to use pepcid to calm your dogs stomach?

Yes, she is getting it with food. Thank you. I will ask vet. Poor Abbie, she has had so much stress in her little life....

I would definitely discuss the issue with your vet. Kefir or possibly canned pumpkin given with the food may help.
