[nagdu] tummy trouble

[Nicole B. Torcolini]

Oh yes...twice a day is not enough for my pup.  She even has to have a snack 
in the middle of the day.  When I cut her food back for travel, I have to 
give her pepsid.

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.
