My dog has a very sensitive stomach? Is this okay for him to keep eating? General Dog Discussions
Okay so I have a 4 year old Pekingese. When I got him at 3 months he would constantly be vomiting and with occasional diarrhea. The vet told me to keep him on I/D food, which I have, after that I did notice a huge change he had definitely improved. Once in a while it would happen again (the vomiting mostly its usually white foam with a yellow liquid). The vet would give me some antibiotics and cimetidine syrup (anti-throw up medicine) for him and he would be good after that for months.Now about a month ago it started again,(this time is was equal amounts of vomit and diarrhea) I called the vet and he said to give him rice and chicken for some days to see if it improved, this was a Thursday, Friday came and he was alot better so I thought he was going to be fine from now on. Saturday came and he got worse so I decided to take him to the Animal ER. The vet said his blood work was normal but he had a little bit of pancreatitis, he said after his treatment which was fluids, an anti-inflammatory drug and some antibiotic that he was going to be fine and he wasn't going to need long term treatment. When I took him home the next day I got sent home with an antibiotic to give him Metronidazole and some more Cimetidine. And I was to keep him on the rice and chicken bland diet for a week. After that he got better back to normal no vomit, no diarrhea. After I gradually changed him back to his regular I/D food I noticed he got really gassy, burping alot, which he never has been before. A couple weeks passed still okay except the gas and I noticed his stool has been a bit soft and really smelly not diarrhea soft still able to pick it up but still pretty jiggly. Is this happening because of his food, is he tired of it? Could his soft stool be because ive only given him the wet formula of I/D not the dry formula because he wont eat it dry. I just don't know what to do anymore can anyone help me out? I was going to take him back to the vet after I recuperated from what I had to pay at the animal ER ($1,395.00) im 20 and I don't have the best paying job and my parents arent in the picture. So if anyone could just give me some information id be truly grateful!
