Fido has a tummy ache??

*Make sure Fido always has plenty of fresh water to flush his/her intestinal tract.
*Walking will stimulate the bowels.
*100% canned pumpkin in its pureed form (not pie filling)
*One teaspoon full (5ml) of Virgin coconut oil for a dog (less for a puppy).
*Using a warm (not hot) moist wash cloth, gently apply slight pressure on Fido’s tummy (from the bottom of the ribcage to the bottom of the tummy). This mimics the natural way a mother dog uses her tongue to help her pup to eliminate trapped gas while encouraging the elimination of waste and urine. 
Inducing Vomiting
ONLY IF IT'S WITH IN 2 HOURS OF INGESTION...
DO NOT TO INDUCE VOMITING WHEN THE DOG HAS INGESTED ANY OF THE FOLLOWING...
An acid based chemical
An alkali based chemical
A household chemical/ cleaning solution/ like bleach or drain cleaner
A petroleum product such as gasoline, turpentine, kerosene
A sharp object
A product whose bottle clearly states do not induce vomiting
your dog has vomited already
your dog is unconscious your dog has labored breathing
your dog is exhibiting nervous system disorders or is seizing

Vomit inducing solution
*three percent hydrogen peroxide (3 CC's for every 20 pounds (approximately 9 kg) of your dog's weight) squirt the peroxide towards the back of the mouth**Wait ten minutes. If Fido hasn't barfed yet, repeat
*Call your vet immediately if she doesn't vomit after the second dose.



I AM NOT A VET! INTESTINAL DISTRESS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS IN DOGS.
THESE ARE ONLY SUGGESTIONS BASED ON MY OWN EXPERIENCE!!
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PHONE YOUR VET IMMEDIATELY!
