TopicVomiting/reflux

Question:
Hi, my dog is 16 years old and she's been having a lot acid reflux, what could I feed her that is soft for her stomach and her teeth? She has kidney problems, so please recommend something that doesn't affect them. She has lost a lot of weight because she doesn't eat much. Please advise. Thanks.
Answer:
Hey! 16 years old is great for a dogs age! However, this may mean they start to deteriorate and get sick. If she is vomiting alot something else could be going on, like organ disease that has gotten really bad. If she has kidney disease I suggest having your vet teach you how to give her fluids under the skin 3 times a week. This helps prolong their lives. But any soft food she likes such as blue buffalo chicken wet food is really soft and good for dogs. At this point with her kidney disease you simply want them eating, I would not focus too much on a kidney diet at this point, but please discuss this with your veterinarian. Thank you!

Question:
Why does my cat vomit frequently?
Answer:
HEY! There could be something going on with your cats GUT or it could be hairballs. GI issues in cats could be IBD (inflammatory bowel) which you may need a bland diet. Or there could be something worse like intestinal lymphoma - I would please have your vet examine your cat and have some bloodwork or X-rays done. Something could also be stuck in their intestines. So many things. I hope this helped! Dr. Lindsay Butzer PLEASE CHECK OUT MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL HERE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBvlURdNKSJ2oRbzUB1_JQw

Question:
Four-week-old kittens are now not drinking milk and vomiting on milk and water some time vomiting has colour difference Why is it like this?
Answer:
Hey! Please start to feed them kitten wet food. You need to wean them by scooping some food into their mouths and after a few days they will understand how to eat. You need to feed them 3x a day offer wet food and spoon feed them some. If they keep vomiting you need to go see your local veterinarian they can get dehydrated fast. I hope this helped.

TopicNeed home medication for my cat

Question:
She has eaten some poisoned thing n is vomiting right now . There are no doctors available here in my area. I gave her ondem tablet but no improvement.
Answer:
Hey! You can give her 1 tablet of Activated charcoal every 8 hours. This will bind any toxins in the mean time. You can open the tablets and mix with water and SYRINGE feed to your cat. Also can try mixing in some wet food and syringe feed that. You can buy this at CVS or WALGREENS. Please then go see your local veterinarian. I hope this helped. Dr. Lindsay Butzer

TopicThrow up and uncontrolled bladder

Question:
I gave my dog a bully stick which he swallowed when there was about 3/4 of the stick left. He threw it up. Afterwards he was rubbing his face on the ground as if he was trying to get something off of it then he laid on the bed and peed, almost like he couldn't control his bladder function. He's sleeping now and seems okay but i'm definitely a bit worried. He's a 20 pound boston terrier.
Answer:
HEY! I am just seeing this now. I hope he is okay today, and since he threw it up there really should be no illnesses to follow, such as bone stuck in his intestines. If he continues to pee on the bed he may have a urinary tract infection your vet can check for with a urine sample. I give bully sticks to my dogs and I do get worried when they chew it down to the last inch, but we have had no issues with them. I hope this helped! Dr. Lindsay Butzer

Question:
My 1 year old bull terrier goes through bouts of vomiting, even with nothing in her stomach, like early in the morning. I am feeding her an easily digest food, her stools are regular and firm, she eats ok. We have tried prilosec and still getting the symptoms.
Answer:
It's going to be hard for me to recommend anything for you without examining her and getting a detailed history because there are so many causes of vomiting. Add to that, it is often hard to differentiate coughing, reverse sneezing, regurgitation, and vomiting. So see your veterinarian if it continues and/or worsens. Here is a link to our article about various causes of vomiting and potential treatments, both over-the-counter and prescription: https://www.1800petmeds.com/education/vomiting-causes-dog-cat-36.html
