Can my dog still be queasy after a 10mg shot of Cerenia from last night around 6 pm, or should it have worked by now?

Last night around 6 pm, my dog received a 10mg shot of Cerenia to help with nausea. It’s now the next day, and he seems a bit queasy still. Should the Cerenia have done its job by now, or could there be another reason for his discomfort?

Answer

Your dog received a 10mg shot of Cerenia around 6 pm last night to manage nausea, but they still seem a bit queasy today. It's possible that the Cerenia may not have fully relieved your dog's nausea symptoms.

  • Cerenia is generally effective within 24 hours
  • Persistent nausea may have other causes
  • Consult your vet if symptoms persist or worsen

Cerenia typically works within a few hours and can help manage nausea for up to 24 hours. However, if your dog is still queasy, there may be an underlying issue that needs attention, such as dietary indiscretion or other gastrointestinal problems. It's important to monitor your dog and, if necessary, reach out to a professional for further advice.

Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you’re unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
