We're taking our pet along for a staycation, and he'll be enjoying time in the garden, possibly munching on grass. Is it okay for dogs to eat grass, and what should we do after if he does?

Dr. Tajunnisa M

Hi. Most of the pets eat grass to correct stomach upset or when they are suffering from any deficiency. Some eat it when they are bored. If your pet vomits or passes undigested stool after eating grass, give Zymopet drops for 2 or 3 days.

Would Cyclopam & Digyton plus syrup be effective for vomiting or undigested stool after consuming grass? If not, could you recommend syrup rather than drops?

Kumar Vansh Moondra

Hello doc, pls suggest

Dr. Tajunnisa M

For indigestion, Syrup Digyton plus would suffice and for vomiting use Emepet spray.

Kumar Vansh Moondra

Could you recommend a syrup instead of a spray? My pet doesn't like sprays & drops Additionally, what's the appropriate dosage in case of vomitting?

For vomiting , You can use Syrup Maropivet, 8ml twice a day

Thanks doctor

Kumar Vansh Moondra

Also, is digyton plus effective in spasms, bloating, cramps, etc?

Dr. Tajunnisa M

Yes

Kumar Vansh Moondra

Thanks doc

I have Maropivet Plus, not Maropivet. How many ml should be given per day then?

Dr. Tajunnisa M

Hi Kumar. The dosage remains same (8ml twice a day) but Maropivet plus is used in case of vomiting with diarrhoea. For only vomiting, just Maropivet is enough.

Kumar Vansh Moondra

Yeah, Maropivet wasn't in stock at the pharmacy. Also, should I still give my dog pet Digyton Plus syrup after meals if I'm already giving them Maropivet plus?

Dr. Tajunnisa M

Both the syrups have different uses. Digyton doesn’t help to stop vomiting but corrects indigestion, bloating and increases appetite. Hence both can be given together. Digyton syrup preferred to be given before food.
