I have a 4mth old puppy, hinez57, maybe some chow, some Lab and???, about 20lbs, that quit eating and drinking Thrusday morn'n, and slept most of the day. Eyes looked dialated so we thought maybe he ate a sand toad. They make a dog very "high" for about 12hrs then they recover. Friday his eyes were back to normal and would drink water, about a qt day total, but not eat. Vomit was white and frothy and very little of it, and only one time. Slept most of all day. Saturday he drank more water but no food, eyes normal. We forced 9cc of 1/2 n' 1/2 down him. 6hrs latter we forced in 3cc of olive oil. Hour latter he did vomit oil and water, all clear vomit. Latter took more water, about a qt day total, on his own. He's up and walking on his own, just not very far or fast. He's loosing weight and urine output is good. No other abnormal signs. When he took the oil it was very clear he has a stomach problem as you could see and hear air traveling up from lower part of the stomach so he must have eaten something he shouldn't have and hasn't passed it yet. Questions? I have oxytetracycline, tetracycline capsules, pennicillian g, cephalexin capsules, available and wondered about giving him some antibiotics, either IM or oral but while he's this weak? Any other home remedy cures you want to suggest? T_Bone
