LM, no I do not leave the food down. I feed her 3x a day with the last meal at bedtime to help with the stomach not being so empty so long.
Susan, well the reason the Vet gave me for the Omeprazole was in case there was an ulcer. Since she’s such a nervous dog and had been having a rough week.. she’d been to the Vet not this past Wednesday but the one before (March 4th) for her check up & vaccinations, and she had a terrible time, tried to bite the tech a couple times (she’s never done that before usually acts nervous & submissive) and the Vet had to give up giving her the bordetella vaccine in the nose because even with a Tech holding her she still jerked away & gave it to her in shot form instead… then 5 days later this passed Monday she got groomed. So she has been stressed a lot in the passed week & a half but seems funny it would take 4 days to catch up with her. So that was the reason for the omeprazole.
But I understand what you are saying about the PPI’s. She did say that I could do the omeprazole for a few days then switch to half a Pepcid a day if she was better.
Update so far this evening. Still won’t eat. She did get a good drink & keep it down but she had some diarrhea. I don’t know if it’s the illness progressing or just the nerves. If I could get her to take some pumpkin (which usually is her favorite thing in the world) I might could help the diarrhea.
LM, I have tried chicken broth & to my amazement she refused that also. I’m just not sure what’s going on with her.
Susan, I don’t know if I can afford the endoscope & biopsy but will keep that in mind, thank you.
Thanks everyone for all the replies.
