This is quoted from a vet! I am hoping he means to do this and also to see your vet too!! Like--to do this as soon as it happens and make an appointment with your vet to see what the problem is unless of course you know what caused it and it is not life-threatening!

Treating the 2nd most common pet health conditions safely, naturally and effectively at home - Vomiting and Diarrhea.

If your pet feels really bad, having vomiting and diarrhea, this is something you want to STOP now!

For Vomiting:

FASTING TIME. A 24 hour fast is the most important thing you can do to allow your pet's inflamed stomach to heal. Allow access to controlled amounts of water, but no food. After 24 hours offer bland food such as plain cooked white rice; give equivalent amounts of rice as you do dog or cat food. After 48 hours mix their regular food with rice and don't fully go to regular food until after 72 hours.

A CUP OF TEA. Peppermint Tea is an old remedy used for upset stomachs in people. Brew up a strong cup of tea, but allow it to cool before offering it.

HOMEOPATHIC. Nux vomica is an effective homeopathic remedy for vomiting for pets.

For Diarrhea:

FIRM IT WITH FIBER. Dietary fiber absorbs water in the intestine, which helps to decrease diarrhea. Ground flax is a great source for dogs (1tsp/cup of dog food). Canned pumpkin is a great source for your cat (1tsp/day).

PROBIOTICS. Restore the natural bacteria in the intestine, to help the intestinal immune system. The most effective supplement is Lactobacillus acidophilus.

HUMAN REMEDIES. Pepto Bismol is an old standby that can be effective for dogs. Immodium (Loperamide) is the only safe over-the-counter anti-diarrhea drug for cats.
