Question

A sovecr old Great Dane is presented to your clinic with the owner's complaint that the dog had tried to vomit several times with no success about two hours ago and since then had appeared to be in pain and very depressed. Physical examination reveals that indeed the animal is in pain, especially over the anterior ventral abdomen. The respiratory rate is forty per minute, the heart rate 150/min, the femoral pulse quite weak, and the mucous membranes are paler than normal but not pale enough for you to consider irreversible shock, at least not yet. You confirm your diagnosis by attempting to pass a stomach. tube and radiograph. What's the diagnosis of the case. Describe how will you treat.

Answer 1

Answer:

Famotidine (Pepcid AC®) and cimetidine (Tagamet®).

By decreasing the production of gastrointestinal acids, these medications can make dogs feel better. It is okay to use them intermittently for dietary indiscretions, but if your dog's stomach issues persist, see your veterinarian to determine the underlying problem.
