When can I feed my dog after giving a pill on an empty stomach?

It depends the medication Chubs is taking, as some medication must be given with food. Please post again with the name of the medication she is taking so I or another expert can advise you if she can take her medication without eating.

It depends what type of pain killers she is taking, as it is every 8 hours i assume it is an opioid which is fine to give even on an empty stomach. antibiotics can also be given on an empty stomach, although not ideal as this can cause nausea. try giving her some boiled chicken, treats or a canned food called a/d from Hills.

Hi there! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! So sorry to hear that Tasha is not feeling well. If she is on medications that were prescribed by your veterinarian for treatment of pancreatitis, then yes she should continue to receive her medications as long as she is eating. Pancreatitis is generally a painful condition so it is recommended to ensure that she receives pain control medications while her pancreas improves. Keeping my fingers crossed for a speedy recovery!

For optimal absorption, tablets should be given on an empty stomach, at least one hour before feeding, as the presence of food decreases the absorption of S-Adenosylmethionine. For those owners who have difficulty administering tablets to their pets, Denamarin tablet(s) may be disguised in a small bite of food. Pill pocket is fine too.

I would give her the medication as instructed, and do not give Pharah a snack after her dose. It's very important to follow any medication as prescribed, or it won't work as needed. I hope this helps!

Hello. Ideally, the medication should be dosed 12 hours apart , 8 am and 8 pm, for example. If that’s not possible...try to get as close to 12 hours apart as you can. This medication can be given on an empty stomach, but since it can cause some GI upset, I would recommend giving food with it or giving it just after a meal. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Six hours is sufficient time for Stella to digest the Trifexis. If you didn't see the pill in the vomitus, then she digested it. Typically, another dose is recommended only if vomiting occurs within 1 hour of administration.
