Your dog is experiencing an upset stomach and isn't eating as usual. It's important to be cautious when considering treatments with over-the-counter medications or human remedies.
- Avoid using human medications without consulting a vet.
- Offer your dog small amounts of bland food like boiled chicken and rice.
- Ensure she has access to fresh water to prevent dehydration.
Dogs can have sensitive digestive systems, and human medications can sometimes do more harm than good. It's best to provide her with a simple diet and monitor her closely. If her condition doesn’t improve or if she shows other symptoms like vomiting or lethargy, please consult a veterinarian.
Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
