Every day? What does the vomit look like?

From https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/famotidine

" It should be given on an empty stomach before the first meal of the day. If your pet vomits when given the medication without food, try giving it with food or a treat."

Yes, I'm supposed to give it every day. The vomit is a small amount - usually watery and brown like the pill pocket, and I can still see pieces of the pill in the little puddle.

I did not give it this morning since I wasn't going to be home to see if there was anything wrong. I will try it tomorrow morning before her meal and see if that helps any.

Well, no Pepcid and she still spit up around the same time this evening. Hopefully it goes well in the morning.

Wondering if it's not the pepcid that's causing the vomiting as it should help rather than cause it. Poor Chloe.

She hasn’t had any in over 24 hours. So I’m not sure.

Is there a reason why you aren't giving her Cerenia? That's best for vomiting. I order it from Chewy and Chewy contacts the vet for the prescription.

I wasn’t given clear instructions on when or how often to give it. I’ve mostly used it reactively when she hasn’t been eating. But she’s been eating pretty well so I haven’t brought it out.

I give it as needed to Ruby not for inappetence but for vomiting. I do a combo Cerenia/ondansetron cocktail when she is nauseous and not eating. Cerenia is ok to give once every 24 hours or every 48 if you want to be cautious about it.
