Darien Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I can't offer any advise, I just wanted to wish you very best with Mini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Yep Zantac syrup - from the chemist. Published dose is 2mg/kg every 8-12 hours. If Mac seems to be having trouble overnight with reflux I will often give him an ad hoc dose of Zantac syrup with a syringe to settle him - works well. Hope that helps. I've never been told about this syrup exists . Hopefully Miss Mini is feeling better. Its what they give babies and easy to gte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 If she is amenable to handling then sub cut fluids from time to time might help a lot by not only maintaining her hydration but taking the pressure off both of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheridan Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) sheridan .... can she have sub/cut fluids , or a drip? She was on a drip for over a week. She's just thrown up the food I gave her at 6.00. Edited May 5, 2015 by Sheridan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll talk to the vet but as I said, she's just been sick again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simply Grand Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Have you tried the Zantac syrup Sheridan? I find Zantac quite helpful with my reflux. Also, anyone know if there a dog version of Pariet (rabeprazole) that could be tried as a preventative? Anecdotally I find that room temp water with a little bit of apple and raspberry cordial (less than the 1:4 ratio) has helped settle my reflux when I haven't had any meds - no idea why or if it would help anyone else but I notice the difference from plain water.

Boronia Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 How is she doing this morning Sheridan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheridan Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 A bit good and a bit bad. Essentially, her bile ducts are clogged. She's now on Ursodiol in an attempt to clear them. She's also on Cyssiprin (sp?) for the reflux and that seems to be helping, though she still has kennel cough. She's not wanted to eat anying so far today but she has had a drink. Last night she was hungry and ate some chicken. I will need to syringe some food down her throat soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
