I have a 3.2 pound Chihuahua who was diagnosed with Liver Disease almost 4 months ago.We are still in the process of trying to find out what kind of Liver Disease Zoe has! Toxicity has been ruled out! She has been taking Clavamox 125mg, 1/4 tablet twice a day for the last week, as the vet suspects she may have an infection in her Liver. She was on Denosyl, but the vet took her off of it, quite a while ago, because he said it wasn't really helping her much and is on no other medications except the Clavamox. She has been keeping the Clavamox down and has not had any problems with vomiting until now! She has been very active! The vet wanted to try the Clavamox for a week, then do some blood work to check her levels, before he decides if we should do a Liver Biopsy! She has an appointment next week for bloodwork! He wants to, see if he can possibly avoid doing the Biopsy, because she is so tiny and it's such a risky surgery for her! She is eating and drinking! She is going to the bathroom just fine! Last night, she ate at around 9:00, I gave her, her 1/4 Clavamox and about 3 to 4 hours after she had taken it, she threw up some very thick white, stingy type foam no food in it for the first time since she's been diagnosed! She did the same thing again this morning and has not eaten anything since last night at 9. My vets office is closed today and I was wondering if you could please tell me, what this thick foamy white substance she is throwing up is and if I need to take her to the ER! Should I be concerned or is it just stomach acids? I know that she hasn't gotten into anything she should not have, because she never leaves my side! I also have some Pepcid AC 10mg tabs and I was wondering if I should give her any to settle her stomach and if so, what dosage? I don't know if it's safe and I don't want to take any chances!!! I recently lost my other Chihuahua Gigi to Liver Disease and now since Zoe has been doing so well and hasn't vomited at all until now,and then this happens, and I'm scared to death, that I may lose her too! What the vet and I cannot understand, is that 6 months before both of my dogs were diagnosed with Liver Disease, they both had full physicals and everything came back perfectly normal, with absolutely no signs of any upcoming serious illness. Where did this disease come from? The vet cannot pinpoint how exactly they ended up getting this really nasty disease!She has #1 more, 1/4 Clavamox to take! Should I wait until tonight to give it to her, to let her stomach settle down or should I stick to the schedule, try to feed her this morning and then give her the Clavamox? Should I even try to feed her anything or wait? If I need to wait, when should I feed her again? Please help me!!! I'm really panicking! I'm very desperate and I'm very scared!!! Thanks for your time and your help! I truly appreciate it! Anxiously looking forward to hearing from you!
