Hi Michelle This is just a guess....But it takes acid to digest the food and the pepsid cuts down on the acid... Is it posible that even though it makes him more comfortable its stopping digestion...

I thought that food only takes about 3 hours to pass through the stomach. Is it normal to still have some food in there from yesterday, or does this mean there is some new problem related to food moving through his system? Or is his digestive system shutting down? Someone on the lymphoma list serv said her cat vomits 2-5 days after getting the kind of chemo that Simon got on Thrusday, so I am hoping his vomiting is just a passing side effect, but the food from yesterday worries me. After vomiting he got very purry right away again, and has been asking for belly rubs non-stop until falling asleep a minute ago next to me on the bed, where I am writing on a laptop. I am not sure whether to offer him more food when he wakes up or not. He ate a little this morning, a very smal amount, but I am sure that must have come up when he threw up. |
