Ritz for the tummy!

Couldn;t find any saltines--so Ritz will have to do! Something so the applesauce and medicine doesn't find it's way back onto the carpet! Although I am hearing some belches!

Whatever floats your boat! Good luck, and keep watch for any breathing problems. You have to just go to the ER if that happens.
Hope all is well soon!

Pills

Again thanks a trillion-even!! I wanted to avoid the vet this time of day (will go if I have to) the closest er is 45 min away and they charge about $90 just to walk in!! Nothing like milking it in an emergency!! I wish I had triple my "pay" for being up at 3 am doing laundry.
I did have benadryl pills, but after I looked at the ingredients, I realized it was for sinus and headache as well--Each tab also contains 500mg of acetometaphin--THAT i know is very, very bad! She seems to be doing okay (breathing wise) she's whining because she wants to love the kitty beyond the baby gate! Thank's again!! You did a great thing! I'm glad you were around when I needed you! Oh, I almost forgot, Naomi REALLY thanks you!!!

I would suggest going to a drug store and picking up some 50mg benadryl tabs for future use. Tyson broke out with terrible hives when I first got him, poor little man was rubbing along the bed, digging his face into pillows to itch... it was so sad. Our vet said to get 50mg tabs of benadryl and it worked like a charm. Keep them in your puppy first aid pack. I take them with me when I go camping too incase he gets too many bites, it calms him down and helps with the itching. My old vet gave me antihistamines especially for the dogs and said "Just keep a few in the glove box in the car and some at home, give 2 if they start to get itchy" so if you arent comfortable with benadryl ask your vet :)

Hope your babies are doing well, and itch free. Hope you get our card soon too!

Colly

She's good now!

The liquid began to work in about 15 minutes. She slurped up the applesauce and I scraped the rest out of the bowl with crackers. I figured out what I believe to be the culprit--it was the food. I had switched and Naomi, bagan to have some runny-poo and even hurled a couple of times. So I switched again, then the hives!! I went to the pet store and started checking and reading. The main ingredient was chicken--chicken parts, butts,feathers, beaks--whatever they put in there. I was recommended to try the Royal Canin, but the first thing listed--Yep, CHICKEN! I went with the Nutro Natural for spazoid, I mean "high energy" breeds! No welts, solid poo--we're good to go! On the label it says "No chicken bi-products" (I'm assuming that lips and you-know whats)! Thanks for the advice from everyone! When living with a boxer(s), there's never a dull moment!
