My dog ate Zofran (Ondansetron). Is this dangerous? Should I go to ER?
Ondansetron (Zofran) can cause constipation and atrial fibrillation even at normal doses. A normal dose would be 0.5mg to 1mg/kg twice daily, so your dog clearly got an overdose. This may be detrimental, but possibly also not. You should take Cash to a Pet ER for inducing emesis (vomiting) or you can also call the pet poison line for advice: 24/7 Animal Poison Control Center 855-764-7661 $59 USD per incident fee applies

My dog is on prescription meds and has an upset stomach. What to do?
Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I'm sorry to hear your dog is having stomach issues on a medication. Typically, a bland diet (such as boiled white meat chicken and white rice) can be helpful for medication-induced GI upset. If your dog isn't eating, vomiting, having diarrhea or otherwise feeling ill, then I would recommend having him evaluated by his veterinarian, as something more than just a medication reaction may be going on. Good luck!

Can I give my dog with parvo human Zofran, Tylenol, or Pepto Bismol?
Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! Poor Charlie! Zofran is used off label for protracted vomiting, though giving pills to a vomiting dog will not go well. All medications have to be prescribed by a doctor who has seen Charlie, it is illegal for us to provide dosing to a dog we haven't examined. . There are other choices that your Vet can provide for you to use at home. Also pepto bismol can be used off label. Giving oral medications to a vomiting dog isn't ideal and it is very likely he will vomit the pepto. Do not use Tylenol in dogs, especially dogs that are dehydrated and have severe GI disease. Vomiting and diarrhea are part of parvo virus. Most puppies survive, about 80-90% with Veterinary guidance. Even at home. I have attached a hand out you can bring to your local vet to help get you the best medications for at home care. I hope this helps and I wish Charlie a speedy recovery! https://drjustinelee.com/using-the-colorado-protocol-for-canine-parvovirus-dr-justine-lee-board-certified-veterinary-specialist/ https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/pepto-bismol/ https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/tylenol/

My dog is nauseous every morning after surgery. Any OTC remedies?
If he recently had intestinal surgery and is experiencing nausea than you should call your vet and give him/her an update. Your vet may want to recheck him to make sure it is not related to the surgery. There really isn't a good over the counter medication for nausea but your vet could prescribe an anti-vomiting medication and antacid. You could add a probiotic to his diet, like Proviable or Fortiflora and see if that helps. Also, feeding him a gastrointestinal diet may help, too.
