You're concerned about giving your dog Cerenia on an empty stomach after he became nauseous and lost interest in food today.
- Monitor for any unusual reactions after medication.
- Encouraging your dog to eat can help prevent stomach upset.
- Consult a vet if your dog's symptoms persist or worsen.
Cerenia is often used to help with nausea in dogs and can typically be given with or without food. However, giving it with food can reduce the likelihood of stomach upset. Try offering small, bland meals to encourage your dog to eat. Chicken and rice are easy on the stomach and can help stimulate appetite. If you notice any worrisome symptoms or a lack of improvement, it's important to check in with a vet.
Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
