Vomiting:     

1.   Remove the source if known such as overeating, fatty foods, eating grass, or a change in the diet.

2.       Remove food and water for several hours until the vomiting has ceased. 

3.       Pepto-Bismol®�?/STRONG>Dose DOGS ONLY, 1 teaspoonful orally per 10 pounds of body weight repeated every 8-12 hours as needed.

4.       After the vomiting has subsided, restart liquids by giving very small amounts of water frequently or letting the animal lick on an ice cube.

5.       If no vomiting occurs with the small amount of water, give hamburger and rice mixture as prepared above feeding small amounts frequently.

Coughing:    A cough may be an indication of a very serious problem and should not be treated at home if the cause is not known.  

1.       Honey or clear sugar candy may be soothing to a dog with a sore throat that is characterized as a tender or painful cough.

2.       Cough Syrups should NOT be used unless prescribed by a veterinarian.

Sneezing:     Occasional sneezing is normal and not of concern.  Persistent sneezing beyond a reasonable period of time may be significant and should be evaluated by your veterinarian.  Once your pet has been seen by your vet and it is said allergies Childrens  Benadryl  can be used.

ONLY YOU KNOW YOUR DOG..  If you don't feel right about how your pets is acting,   Contact  your VET..
Your Gut reactions are always the best..
