I would like to have some of this on hand! What is it called or what USA med can be used for guinea gas?

Thanks,
Angela
 
Ok I googled it. I should have done that first but what I found is it's
mylanta for babies. How many mg's per kg can a GP have? And is this the same and or safe to give them?

Kitty's tummy seemed very big last night, she's still eating and pooping.
 
I would not use Infacol as it creates one large gas bubble and if the GI tract is in stasis this could lead to a larger bubble becoming trapped which could be life threatening as it could cause a gastric torsion.

Woodwards Gripe water on the other hand contains dill oil which breaks down small gas bubbles. I am not sure if you can get that in the US.

If she is still bloated I would get her checked by a vet.
