[nagdu] tummy trouble

[Garry and Joy Relton]

Tracy,

I think that you are correct. I know my mom's stomach doesn't agree with
many of those antibiotics or cortisone. Since dog's stomachs are the same as
human's it stands to reason. Besides, my vet's have always told me to give
the antibiotics with food which is because it lessens the effects on the
stomach.

I wonder if it's just the antibiotics disagreeing with her.  If you're happy
with the food you've been feeding, and she's been doing well until the
antibiotics, I'd try her on her old food for a bit, after the antibiotics
are done, and see how it goes. I've been feeding twice a day for a long
time, ever since one of my dogs would throw up at 4 A.M. because her stomach
was too empty.

I remember my shepherd vomitted after he'd gotten a cortesone pill.  The vet
said the two things weren't related, but I think different, and I didn't
give my boy any more cortesone. HTH. Tracy
