Hi, I would go with what everyone else is saying, plus, if the vet has you try the amoxicillin again - I would only give it to him on a full stomach. Even if you have to give him some canned food first to be sure his tummy is nice a full. Amoxicillin on a not full tummy will make kids and adult people barf too! Also, another thing you can try is boiled hamburger and rice. Boiling the hamburger takes off the fat and makes it easier on their tummy. That was always my mom's upset dog tummy recipie. Personally, I would probably ask for the antibiotic injection at this point, with all of the vomiting with the by mouth antibiotic so far. Michele

My Goliath started vomiting Sunday and I took him to the Vet. Goliath is 13 weeks and weighs 2.40. I took him to the Vets where he dx. him as having Tonsillitis and because of his small weight he decided to put him on Amoxicillian instead of giving him a shot. He also said he wanted to wait for a week for giving him his 3 mos. shot for which I know is right. Anyways, he is NOT keeping the Amoxiciallian down and doesn't appear to be drinking very little water. I just called the Vet on an emergency basis and he told me to hold the Amoxillian for the night with letting him have only ice cube and water. In AM give him another try on the Amoxicillian and if he can't keep the medication down I should call the office and bring him in. I probably made a mistake or made it worse as I had given him a very very small amount of canned food so now he has to have his stomach completely empty and I feel so badly now. He is my 1st Chihuahua and I am just so worried about him. Please, any advise would help. ------------------------------ Shape Yahoo! in your own image.
