GennysMom is your pup doing any better?View Thread

I hope your pup is better soon/View Thread
The only thing I find that helps is to immediately give Simethecone drops- baby gas drops, she's 55 lbs and I give her a full baby dose and then try and soothe her. With my girl it seems to be exacerbated by stress or excitedness. She then is able to expel any air she gulped in and is far more comfortable.View Thread

Thirdly, I did my best to keep her calm. I talked low, slow, lots of slow, long, pets. I kept her on a leash over night in the bed so I could keep her close and wake up as needed. It really seems like i can sort of "cut them off at the pass" if I start the calming right away. In addition to it happening in the middle of the night, it seems to also be triggered by excitement or anxiety. I did not let her go out and eat grass, and she has not thrown up. I did notice her throat muscles seem tight and tense as she's gulping, so massaged that area too. I will report to my vet on Monday am and see what he says.View Thread
