Does anyone have experience using Cerenia for vomiting and nausea? Boo has been having some increased episodes of vomiting bile, decreased appetite, and weight loss, associated with his IBD the past month. Although he already takes a lot of medications, his specialist agreed to let him try an oral course of Cerenia. He received 2 Cerenia injections in the past 4 weeks, which helped for a day or two. Fingers crossed that a daily dose will help him get on the mend. Except for elevated inflammatory markers, his blood and urine labs look great. So, I am hopeful.

Now my old man is down for a snooze.

For any dog given Cerenia, it is critical to determine why the dog is vomiting. Vomiting can save a dog's life if they have consumed something that needs to come up. Important not to suppress it in this case.

I agree that vomiting should not be suppressed willy-nilly, as it is has an important function to rid the body of toxic substances. However, for Boo, the problem has always been getting him to eat anything let alone a foreign substance. This dog would ignore the tastiest treat unless it was handed to him by me. Even then, sometimes he would turn away in distain. Plus, we always do lots of work up for everything.

Well, Boo just got his first Cerenia dose of 8mg. At a cost of $11 for a 16 mg tab, I hope it works wonders. He has 4 tablets or an 8 day supply.

So far, the Cerenia seems to be helping Boo. He does seem to be a little more sleepy than usual. Not sure, if that is a side effect or just part of the recovery process. Irregardless, I am seeing improvement, which makes me happy. Back to vet tomorrow for some more fluids and mini labs.

Has anyone had their Havi develop slight constipation with use of Cerenia? After the third day, taking Cerenia, Boo’s stool became pebble like, firm but not rock hard. Color still normal and no blood is stool.
