When you have a stomach ache, you might reach for some saltine crackers, ginger ale or Pepto-Bismol to settle your stomach. But what should you do if your dog has an upset stomach?
Symptoms Your Dog Has an Upset Stomach
Typically, dogs with an upset stomach will exhibit some or most of these symptoms.
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Salivation
- Tries to eat grass or lick the floor
- Loss of appetite
- Flatulence
- Gurgling noises from the stomach
Determine If Your Dog Can Be Treated At Home or Needs to Go to the Vet
Home remedies may be appropriate for some dogs who do not have a serious underlying cause for their upset stomach.
Please take your dog to your veterinarian right away if your dog is:
- lethargic
- running a fever
- vomiting continuously
- having continual diarrhea
- seems to be dehydrated
- pacing nervously
- drooling uncontrollably
- retching without anything coming up
- has blood in his or her stool
- or your dog’s stomach appears to be distended.
These could be serious conditions that need to be treated by a professional.
Home Remedies to Help Your Dog’s Upset Stomach
If you determine your dog has a garden-variety upset stomach, here are 12 ways to treat your dog’s upset stomach at home.
-
Keep your dog hydrated
It’s really important that your dog stay hydrated at all times, but especially if they are experiencing vomiting and diarrhea. With diarrhea, they may very quickly become dehydrated, sometimes within a couple of hours.
Try giving your dog ice chips every 2 – 3 hours. See if your dog can keep that down before more ice cubes and teaspoons of water.
Don’t assume you can just offer water to your dog to help them stay hydrated. Dogs need electrolytes and vitamins to retain fluids. One solution is to give your dog Pedialyte. You give the same kind you give kids or you can go to an animal feed store to obtain a powder that can be mixed with water and given to your dog.
*NOTE: if your dog does not improve within 24 hours after being given Pedialyte, IMMEDIATELY take your dog to your veterinarian or animal emergency hospital. Dehydration in dogs can happen very quickly, causing possible organ failure or even death.
-
Check your dog’s temperature
Check your dog’s temperature using a rectal thermometer. There are ear thermometers for dogs but they are not as accurate. A dog’s normal temperature is 101.5◦F. A temperature of 102◦F or higher is considered a fever. If your dog’s temperature is 102◦F or higher or 99◦ or lower, you should take your dog to the veterinarian immediately to find out what’s wrong.
-
Determine what caused the upset stomach
Most of the time an upset stomach in a dog is caused by something the dog ingested. Dogs are notorious for eating things they shouldn’t, and there’s a long list of items that can cause problems for your dog. Try to figure out what might have caused your dog’s upset stomach to help your vet make a diagnosis.

Remove food for 12-24 hours
It is entirely normal for canines to go without food for periods of time in the wild. In the case that your dog’s stomach is upset, fasting will allow your dog’s gastrointestinal tract to rest and recover if inflamed.
If your dog is still a puppy, you should not remove food for longer than 12 hours or overnight. You can rub your puppy’s gums with maple syrup to keep his or her glucose level up. But make sure the syrup does not contain xylitol, a potentially lethal artificial sweetener if ingested by canines.
-
Bone broth
Bone broth is very healing for dogs. Simmer meat (on the bone) with apple cider vinegar and water in a crockpot. It will take about a day to make bone broth, so it’s best to make ahead and freeze. Be sure to skim off any fat before freezing.
-
DiarRice
DiarRice is a rice-based probiotic that will help soothe your pup’s stomach. DiarRice is easy to digest and tastes like chicken. DiarRice should work quickly, so if it doesn’t help right away, seek medical attention.
-
Bland diet
After your dog has fasted for 12-24 hours, and he or she is not vomiting, and can keep down liquids, it might be time to try the bland diet. The bland diet contains:
- Boiled rice (75%)
- Cooked white chicken meat (no skin or bones) or extra-lean hamburger (25%)
- Do not add any oils, fats or spices to the bland diet.
Gradually increase the amount of food you give your dog, starting with a tablespoon and waiting two hours. If your dog can keep that down, continue to increase the amount of food to 1/2 – 1 cup of bland diet every three or four hours.
Once your dog seems to be doing better, you can gradually add in his or her regular food until he is eating 100% of his regular diet again.
-
Probiotics
Once your dog is able to eat and appears to be feeling better, you can consider giving him or her unsweetened, plain yogurt that contains probiotics or a dog probiotic, such as FortiFlora, Prostora or Proviable. Probiotics contain living gut-friendly bacteria found naturally in the digestive tract. The goal of ingesting probiotics is to prevent gastrointestinal problems and boost your dog’s immune system.
-
Foods that can help
Foods that can help soothe an upset stomach and firm up your dog’s stool if he or she is having diarrhea include:
- Plain, canned pumpkin
- Oatmeal
- Plain, unsweetened yogurt
- Sweet potatoes
- Bananas
-
Slippery elm bark
Some veterinarians recommend slippery elm bark for dogs. Slippery elm bark is an herb that is used to treat digestive problems in dogs. Slippery elm bark contains mucilage which will coat, lubricate and sooth the inflamed mucous membranes of your dog’s stomach.
-
Discourage your dog from eating grass
It appears that some dogs have an innate drive to eat grass when their stomach is upset. Some people think the dog is trying to induce vomiting by ingesting grass, but not all vets agree on this. What veterinarians DO agree on, however, is that many lawns are treated with fertilizers and other chemicals, making it unsafe for canine consumption.
-
Over-the-counter medication
Some over-the-counter medications may help your dog if he or she is having diarrhea, but they should only be given under the guidance of your veterinarian. People have used Imodium, Pepto-Bismol and Pepcid to treat diarrhea in dogs. However, they may cause side effects, so it is best to check with your vet first.
While these home remedies can help your dog feel better, they in no way should be a substitute for veterinarian care. There are many reasons your dog could be sick, and only your vet can pinpoint the probable cause and recommend a proper course of treatment.

What Every Dog Owner Should Know About Skin Lumps and Bumps in Dogs
My fur baby was on a bland diet (boiled chicken and white rice) for a prolonged period (weeks). For convenience, I used Instant Rice. I didn’t realize that Instant Rice does not have the same nutrients as regular white rice, and after a couple of weeks, my boy was stealing food off the cabinet and acting starved….which he was!
We also tried canned pumpkin. Pup was not a fan, but if you want to try it, be aware that, at least in my area, it is not available in the stores year round. I try to buy a can or two around Halloween just in case.
Hey my yorkie she weighs about 5#today she has been licking her lips and acts like she wants to throw up and has 2 loose bowel movements what do you suggest?
Thanks for stopping by the Canine Campus blog. We suggest you reach out to a local veterinarian who can better help you with your dog’s specific symptoms.
Cooked rice- thats what i give to my pups! But if it shows more concerns – take your pet to his vet.
Thank YOU for this comment. I had no clue the nutritional values differ from instant to regular white rice.
Again. Thank you!
Thank you!!
I had no idea either about that.
where can I find DiarRice
You could call around to the local pet shops or Amazon carries it.
My dog has intermittent digestive problems. He just acts like he doesn’t feel well again this morning. He had some teeth issues and that has been addressed. It’s going on again this morning and he wouldn’t eat and acts like he is very uncomfortable. He isnt throwing up . Ive noticed his stomach is growling this morning and he hasnt eaten since last nite. I have had him on canned lamb by blue because i thought he might be sensitive to chicken. I dont give him people food. Just veggies and fruit. Im at my witts end and vet cant find anything. Any suppestions on what to add or leave out of his diet. I cant afford lot of lab tests. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Leni,
It sounds like you might need a second opinion on the digestive issues your dog is having. If you’re here in the Colorado Springs area, try calling the Humane Society for a referral to a nonprofit organization. They may be able to help defray the cost of testing, exams, treatment, etc. Their number is 719-473-1741. If you’re in a different area, try to locate a local animal shelter to find a referral. Some organizations raise money to help people on a sliding fee scale. I hope your dog feels better soon!
Joelle
So gave no advice .really, so can’t afford vets no car or money to take my dog yet, so you said call humaine society. There are things you can buy but rather than help you’ll give no advice.
I’m sorry to hear your pup is still having problems. Have you considered consulting a telehealth veterinary service like Pawp? Their services are low cost and are available online. Hopefully they will be able to help!
Blue Buffalo has a terrible track record with regard to recalls and has even killed dogs. I would stop feeding that immediately. Even if your pup is feeling better now. I would never feed any dog any food by them, even if it were free. I honestly can’t believe they’re still in business.
Thanks for the input and for stopping by the Canine Campus blog!
Amen to that… blue is very bad food… it also messed up my baby’s stomach now he has to be on a special diet.
Thank you for stopping by the Canine Campus blog and sharing your experience.
Leni, hope things are better but if not my 4 pound Morki had stomach problems every other week. I started using Evander low fat vegetarian complete balanced dinner with Dr. Harvey’s “Runs Be Gone” from Amazon. Dog food local. I changed her from chicken to steak meat mixed in with a little pumpkin . When she appears sick I give her 1/2 pepsid and 1/4 teaspoon crushed tums. A few hours later no girgle and she eats.
Good luck, I think backtiera from bad teeth upsets the stomach.
Good luck to all that reads this.
m
Evangers dog food
Some dogs can’t eat fruit and veggies the same as humans do but give him some yogurt and mix a little in his food he may have acid reflux and try a raw diet it’s at the pet stores but the yogurt just might do the trick
I agree with the fruits and veggies. However if you want to try one veggie at a time to see if he has any issues with each individual veggie or fruit, and then go from there
Watch doc ‘Pet Fooled’u will be cooking him real good after
Hi Leni! Thanks for stopping by the Canine Campus blog and sharing a resource that’s been helpful for you! Hope to see you back again soon!
We took a 2 hrs drive to put our 5 month old Shepherd at the back of the pick up and when we stop after the trip he doesn’t feel. We rushed home
And he start vomiting and drooling.. does he have car sick? Please help.. what should I do
Hi Haidee,
If you’re concerned about your dog you should have him checked out by a veterinarian. Thanks for dropping by the Canine Campus blog! Best of luck to you and your pooch!
Joelle
Yes, contact your vet, ask about an OTC. My vet gave us 4 pills for a road trip and ended up being 48$. Drooling and excessive licking are both good signs of the dog about to or did vomit.
Thanks for your input Dustin.
Licking is a sign of upset stomach yogurt in his food may solve it
wow, reading this is helpful…my dog has had an upset stomach, vomiting and diahrea. No more of either, but he does not want to eat…he ate a little more this morning. I have been to a vet, but it is getting expensive…The vet gave me prescription food which my dog is not crazy about. Hills prescription sells on line for $70 a bag…woah, a bit much. How do I get him back eating? I don’t want to hurt him. He is still on a medication from the vet.
We are sorry to hear your pup is not feeling well. Have you tried calling your veterinary clinic to let them know your dog doesn’t like the new food and ask if they can suggest something a little more affordable? You need to be working with a vet who has seen your dog and knows your case. Hope your pooch feels better soon!
Hi in regards to the up set tummy and diehrea first sign if is oatmeal cook till creamy adding water as needed. I Divide it in 1/4cups I mix in 1/2 capsule of Slippery Elm mix and serve one dose morning and again in evening.
My dog is close to 30lbs. That’s all I feed her the first day, then start giving it to her mixed with a little of her food till she has a normal bowel movement.
Thanks for sharing your remedy, Holly. And thanks for stopping by the Canine Campus blog!
mt little dog haz been great all of a suden his vomiting how can i help him
I’m sorry to hear your dog isn’t feeling well. I suggest you call your veterinarian’s office and describe your dog’s symptoms to find out if your dog needs to be seen. Thanks for stopping by the Canine Campus blog.
My dog is 14 yrs old and Very energetic dog. She had a mass by his rectum so they told us we had to do surgery to remove it and we had a neuter him as well. The mass was not cancerous. After my dog had surgery. He been vomiting , barely eating , and sleeping alot. The doctors prescribe and assets and more antibiotics Nothing is working so far. He went he an ultrasound done yesterday and now we are wait for the results. We have been give him a blend diet but we put a little salt in it. What can we do ?
I’m sorry to hear your dog is sick. Your best bet is to follow the advice of your veterinarian. I hope your dog feels better soon! Thanks for stopping by the Canine Campus blog.
Our new puppy is almost 6 months and eats everything she finds on the ground inside and outside and licks our floors and carpets all day. How can we stop her from doing this. Last night she became very sick from something she ate or licked.
Excessive eating and licking are some of the puppy behaviors that can drive you crazy! As I’m sure you are aware, licking and eating are common puppy behaviors because these are tactile ways puppies explore and learn about the world around them. There are many great articles out there you can explore to give you ideas of how to approach this issue. One suggestion I would offer is to enroll your puppy in a puppy training class. Our trainer, Patti Davieau, will help you work on “drop it”, “leave it” and other training techniques. The good news is most puppies do grow out of these concerning behaviors.

My 2 year old Chihuahua, who is 5.5 lbs., just ate a whole persimmon, seeds and all. I read that persimmons are ok for dogs, but not the seeds. He ingested those as well. I’m worried now and doing the waiting game to see how he is going to react. He seems fine right now and its been about 45 minutes since he ingested it. Its Sunday, so my vet is closed. I will call the vet first thing tomorrow. I’m hoping I don’t have to run to emergency. Anything I can do or watch for in the meantime that might help? I figure he will have diarrhea. Thanks for any advice. I’m stressing.
I hope your Chihuahua is feeling better by now.
In the future, I recommend you take action immediately by calling your veterinarian, ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at 1-888-426-4435, or the Pet Poison Helpline at 1-800-213-6680.
Both the Animal Poison Control Center and Pet Poison Hotline are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Thanks for the question.
My 4year old pitbull dog licks until bed or couch or whatever she sits on is wet. And. scratches her face until it bleeds. I started give her Zytec Antihistamine every morning it’s been 2wks . Got her nails cut real short what can I do. Please help.
Sorry to hear your dog is having trouble. Find a qualified veterinarian that can assess your dog’s situation and make a proper diagnosis. If you need referrals, call your local Humane Society. Good luck! Hope your dog feels better soon!
Sounds like dietary problem. Stay away from chicken diets. Beef or ideally lamb. No grains at all. I use TruDog. Ideal dog diet.
I also cut my dogs nails. Then i realized she had bad scratch marks on her face. It was just from regular scratching!! I felt so bad. I decided right then that i would never cut her nails again. And i didnt. And her face wasnt all messed up again either.
Thank you for sharing your experience on the Canine Campus blog. Come back and visit us often.
My Dog Whitney has Kidney disease&has been throwing up for about a week ltook to the vet twice they gave her fluids &she takiing anttibotics &acid reflex pills but not working and l cant aford to take her to hospital she only 3 1\2 yrs old. Would like to know what organization can help me
If the treatment your veterinarian prescribed is not working you should let them know right away. They may be able to help over the phone since they’ve seen your dog already. If not, contact your local Humane Society for referrals to a veterinarian who charges on a sliding scale. Good luck – hope your dog feels better soon.
Hello,
my 3 year old dog maltese has been throwing up here and there also I notices that he now has a little diarrhea I gave him boiled rice and some chicken he ate some but not all and he loves chicken. My vet gave him fortiflora once before and it seem to work but I was wondering if there is anything else that I can do for the diarrhea and to give him to eat that might work
The best thing to do is to call your veterinarian and let them know what is going on. There are many reasons a dog might have diarrhea. Your vet is the best person to advise you on what to do. I hope your dog feels better soon. Thanks for dropping by the Canine Campus blog.
Thank you, have appointment tomorrow.
Excellent!
My 2-year old Wheaten is drooling a lot during naps. I saw him licking pigeon poop off our deck. He’s been sick from this before but I don’t remember him drooling so much. Is it possible he got himself sick doing that again?
Charlie, you may want to contact the Pet Poison Helpline at 800-213-6680 or reach out to your veterinarian. I am unable to diagnose your dog’s issue in an online forum. I hope Wheatan feels better soon! Thanks for stopping by the Canine Campus blog!
My 85 pound, 11 year old Labrador retriever has advanced hip displacement and she takes Rimadyl twice daily. She has dog food with glucosamine and chondroitin in it. We mix it with chicken and cooked rice, she gets a cup of the mix twice a day when she gets her medicine. In the last few weeks she showed signs of stomach upset. Smelly farts, burps, licks the carpeting, and she has actually thrown up foamy white bile a few times. She already takes a Pepsid with her morning medicine. How can we help her? She needs the pain meds but they seem to cause tummy upset.
Ann, it sounds like you are already doing a lot to help your pup! I recommend you return to your veterinarian to let them know your dog is having trouble tolerating her medication. Hope she feels better soon!
Wow. Your situation sounds exactly like ours with our Chocolate Lab Owen . Ours used to also throw up, but nothing would come out during the night. He just made that ratchet sound. We felt so bad for him. He had it for seven years of his life. He was on everything to help him. Ours passed away last summer . We miss him terribly. I honestly hope your fur child gets better but our dog food in this country is cooked at such a high temperature and has the worst ingredients in all of them.
We wish someone would step up and force dog food companies to have higher standards and qualities for dog food.
We have a 8 month old Black Lab and we are only feeding him a clean and healthy diet. I can only pray he never goes through what our sweet gentle amazing Owen did.
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Owen. Thank you for sharing your story and alerting other dog parents. So happy to hear you have a new puppy! Please stop back by the Canine Campus blog in the near future!
When dogs have vomiting or gastritis are they checked for H pylori? What does test for that usually cost. Is the treatment flagyl? Dose per lbs?
Those are great questions, Bertha. We recommend you contact your veterinarian as doses will vary for different dogs and testing costs may vary. Thanks for stopping by our blog!
My dog Trevor has no appetite, probably because of her stomachache, which is why I’m thinking of bringing him to a veterinarian specialist. Thank you for sharing here that I may feed him with a bland diet, which includes boiled rice and checking meat. I’ll also keep in mind to prepare a bone broth because you’ve mentioned that it is very healing for the dogs.
Thanks for stopping by the Canine Campus blog, Rachel. I’m glad we were able to help!
Hi.
My 15 yoa male Shiz Zu vomited his breakfast and his breath is horrible.
He doesn’t want go outside which is not like him.
He is lying in his bed.
I tried to get him to drink water but he just looks at me.
Should I take him to the vet now?
Or is there something I can do for him at home?
I’m a first time dog owner and just want to do the right thing.
Thanks
Yes you should call your vet right away. They will let you know if he needs to be seen or not, and what you can do for him at home. I hope he feels better soon!
My 9 month old pup got a half Advil pm about 2:30 yesterday and has been throwing up ever since. She acts fine and plays but I’m concerned about the throwing up. What can I give her until she can see a vet?
Call your veterinarian, the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at 1-888-426-4435, or Pet Poison Helpline at 1-800-213-6680.

Hi Krista, hope your pup is feeling better. Canine Campus is a dog daycare, boarding and grooming facility. We are not veterinarians nor can we give veterinarian advice. Have you tried getting a second, or even third, opinion from a veterinarian? Or maybe a referral to a specialist? It sounds like you need a veterinarian who has experience in this area. We hope your dog feels better soon!
Help. My puppy is a German Sheppard Siberian husky and I cannot Afford a vet right now due to financial issues. Her belly isn’t doing very well as she’s vomited 2 times and it’s been yellow thick bile. All she wants to do is cuddle me. I want her to rest, but without having any money to take her to the vet it’s super hard on me. I can hear like spit sounds in her belly. I’ve tried ice chips Cause she usually loves them. Is there anyone who can direct me for a loan for the vet or a payment plan vet. I’m in Edmonton Canada.
We’re so sorry hear of your puppy’s infliction. Your pup needs to be seen by a qualified veterinarian. We suggest calling around to find low-cost or sliding scale fee veterinary services in your area. Good luck!
My dog has bad acid reflex. She runs outside frantically trying to eat grass. I knew this wasn’t normal for her to do because she didn’t even want to play fetch with me. I thought this was interesting, and then suddenly she started gulping about every 10 seconds. I was just wondering what I should do to help her feel better.

Our 11year old Welsh Corgi, had her teeth cleaned by a mobile vet here at home earlier this week. They didn’t need to extract any teeth, which has happened in the past . Even so, they left us some Clinamycin, an antibiotic to give her . We followed the instructions of one capsule every 12hrs once she started eating again after her procedure. After a couple of days of this, she started acting very lethargic and not interested in necessarily being in the same room with the rest of the family. Very unlike her, especially as a Corgi. Then 2 days ago, she almost acted constipated and then that seemed to go away. Her appetite seemed to take a change , as she normally is a food hound and the past two days she isn’t interested at all in eating. I decided this morning to stop the antibiotic. We emailed the mobile vet. No response yet. Her stool this morning was pretty soft too. I just gave her some pumpkin and she gobbled that up. She also has been drinking lots of water, lots more than normal. I will give her more pumpkin in a couple of hours and see how she is doing. If this sounds like the right thing to do or not, I would appreciate any comments.

Actually Blue Buffalo has one of the best inspection systems. So if it seems like they have a lot of recalls it is because they pull canned food “just in case”. I have fed Blue Buffalo for years and my vet says it is one of the best foods on the market and it isn’t what she feeds. I very much think you need to do more research before blasting a company. Some of the most expensive foods have been pulled from the market for dogs dying. Fact check is in order.

My dog is recently recovering from tapeworms and constipation. I initially took him in cuz he was throwing up and a week of diarrhea and thought a mouse got in his water bowl. The day of the appointment he became constipated. The vet cleared him out a bit and said he had tapeworms. I was shocked to find that out Anyhow he told me to do boil boneless chicken and rice. He said to use the standard white rice from the grocery store and boil boneless/skinless chicken. He said you don’t need a special brand of rice as long as it’s not instant. I was also told to give him a couple small pieces of bananas. We went to the vet 3/2/21 and he pooped the day I started giving him banana pieces (not banana chips), 3/4/21. I started feeding him chicken and rice the day before I went to the vet.
Glad your dog is on the mend and we hope he continues to recover. Thanks for stopping by the Canine Campus blog!

My Chihuahua puppy recently in the morning started to vomit and around five minutes ago he has started to have diarrhea. I would love to take him to the vet to make things easier but I don’t have enough money to take him. Any recommendations on what I should do?
Most communities have a Humane Society or a pet shelter facility. They may know a veterinarian who offers services on a sliding scale or donation basis. I hope your dog is feeling better by now!
Its Sunday no one is open we live in small town he’s a older Chihuahua he’s like 10 years old
If you suspect your pet is sick, call your vet immediately. For health-related questions, always consult your veterinarian, as they have examined your pet, know the pet’s health history, and can make the best recommendations for your pet.

My dog doesn’t eat and always sleeping it didn’t even do anything i m so worried and i m just 12 year old girl and my dogs name is max I didn’t count his age sorry but plss help my pup.
I’m so sorry to hear Max isn’t eating and seems to be sleeping too much. The best thing for you to do is to ask your family for help with this situation. Your dog needs to be seen by a veterinarian who can determine what is wrong and help your family decide the next steps for your dog. There are many different things that might be wrong; only a trained veterinarian will be able to help. I hope Max feels better soon.
Hi my dug keeps throwing up and having diarrhea what should I do
Please call your veterinarian if your dog is experiencing stomach distress. Thanks for stopping by the Canine Campus blog.
Years ago I had two senior dogs and about every 4-6 weeks or so one of them would have an upset stomach (gurgling sounds from their stomachs) and/or throw up, sometimes just bile. Otherwise they were pretty healthy, aside from the general aches and pains of getting old. My vet suggested dosing 1 tablet of “acid reducer.” One was a Cocker Spaniel, the other just a bit larger. This helped a lot – the gurgling would subside as would the vomiting. This is a human medication, but safe for dogs. It’s not terribly expensive (I’d get the generic version, in bubble pack form). Really helpful too because you don’t need a prescription and it’s easily available in pharmacies. Hope this might help as a possible option for occasional stomach upset in your pup.
My dog is a mixed small breed about 15 lbs he vomits often especially at night. I have spent over $2000 in vet bills expensive dog food he will not eat. He has kidney stones bad back. Should l just have him put to sleep and save him from more suffering? I need help here.
I’m so sorry your dog is having health issues. Canine Campus is not a veterinary clinic and we are unable to give veterinary advice. A decision about how to move forward in the best interests of your dog needs to be made by you, your loved ones and your veterinarian. I hope your dog is feeling better by now and wish you all the best in the future.
Hi.
My dog is 11 ut rs old . I cook his chicken in crockpot, he gets boil rice , I’ll switch up his veggies (poached eggs, sweet potatoes, carrots, string beans) . He like fruits , bananas, melons, watermelon, strawberries.
Last nite he didn’t want his dinner & now his breakfast. I can he his gut making noises. Theres no diarrhea, vomiting, he has eat grass. He does have allergies so his noise will run off & on. He’s drinking water. He has done this before to see if I’ll give him his treats.
I have place chicken broth in his bowl & that worked last time . What else can o do.
Please call your veterinarian and make an appointment to have your dog seen. Canine Campus is a dog daycare, boarding and grooming service – we are not certified veterinarians and cannot provide veterinary advice. We hope your dog is feels better soon! Thanks for stopping by the Canine Campus blog.
