Cause For Child Who Have Back Problem And Throwing Often?
I have a 4 yr old female miniature Shih Tzu. She is on prednisone. She has been throwing up nearly everyday for the past few weeks. She has back problems too. We give her 1/4 of childrens aspirin with a half pepsid as needed. We have found out her seizure and back problems from her throwing up. Thought we had everything under control. But the throwing up is back and she eats very little now too.

Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Prednisone and aspirin are the drugs which cause gastric irritation. This results in nausea and vomiting. So the cause of her throwing up is due to drug induced gastritis. Addition of antacid like Pantoprozole will be beneficial.
Take care
