Guest WarmheartedPups Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 (edited) Since Roos surgery ...ten days ago....she has been getting the heaves.....sometimes barfs bile and sometimes just dry heaves. Mostly in the middle of the night and a few times during the day. I would say twice in the last ten days in the day and 6 times in the last ten days in the middle of the night. She has skipped a day or two and then ack, ack ack. Do you think this is just anesthesia trying to get out of her system? I am getting nervous.

ZoomDoggy Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Ten days later, there's no anesthesia left in her system. Do you give her a bedtime meal? Sometimes hounds can get a sour stomach just from it being too empty. Especially if she's on any post-op meds... Quote ~Aimee, with Flower, Alan, Queenie, & Spodee Odee!

Guest whatahound Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I've got a friend who's hound was doing that. She started giving her a piece of bread before going to bed. It worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greylover97 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Empty tummy? Did they catch her mouth/throat with the tubes from surgery? Is this new for her? I would be inclined to call the vet at least.

Guest MorganKonaAlex Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Is she on anti-biotics? If so, they are irritating her stomach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlackandBrindle Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Sadie gets that in the morning if I don't feed her on schedule.... I've been using bread before bedtime, as cookies just weren't cutting it. Hugs to Roo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Che_mar_Cody Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 So sorry to hear this Linda. Cody's post surgery meds say to give with food. Cody's still on the medications, but hasn't got sick...I think their right - give him food Give Roo a hug from me and a lick from Cody : ) ps can you send me that pic of Otis in his Twins hat again?

Jiffer Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Sounds like a sour tummy to me too. I'd agree with a treat or piece of bread before bed and she should be fine Quote Jennifer and Beamish (an unnamed Irish-born Racer) DOB: October 30, 2011 Forever and always missing my "Vowels", Icarus, Atlas, Orion, Uber, and Miss Echo, and Mojito.

Guest WarmheartedPups Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I called the Vet and she said that sometimes after surgery, deep chested dogs can have problems with acid reflux. She said try Pepcid.....AND I will try bread as well.. Poor Roo, cant catch a break!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
