dbullwinkel Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 He refused his dinner last night..the house was a bit noisy and he can't eat with commotion...but he usually manages to eat a bit later. He had no interest in eating. Woke up in the middle of the night with a terrible gurgly stomach. DH let him out. A couple hours later..again. I let him out. (checked this am..not D) I gave him a pepcid about 3:30 am. 7 am he ate a small amount of boiled chop meat and pasta (ancini de pepe) He wouldn't take his elavil in a pill pocket..also would not do so yesterday. I am going to watch him for a bit today and see how he does. would it be ok to give him a second pepcid about 30 mins before dinner (they eat at five)? If not on the upswing by tomorrow will bring him in... He is a nervous guy, so things like this make him even more nervous..poor guy... any advice would be appreciated!

duncan41 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Poor Garry. Gurgling tummies are no fun! Yes, pepcid 30-45 minutes b/4 meals is good. But remember, if he doesn't want to eat, don't force the subject. He ate a little bit yesterday, right? That's ok, too. Try using tweezers to put the Elavil in the pill pocket - don't touch it with your fingers - your skin can transfer the odor of the pill to the pill pocket. Hope he just has a bit of an upset and he'll be back to normal by tomorrow. Let us know how it goes.
