Antacids

If you have no Maalox and can't borrow from the neighbors perhaps you can give her some aloe vera, if you have that plant... It would be soothing and has anti-inflammatory properties and is safe. http://www.mixph.com/aloe-extract-natural-healer-and-poultry-growth-enhancer/

I called vet this morning but am still waiting on a reply. Also went to get Maalox from store and turns out they don’t sell it where I am from. Pharmacist said next best thing was Gaviscon regular strength acid shielding foam barrier liquid. Is this safe to give her??

Never even thought your from a country other than the US. Not sure if gaviscon is same formula or not try google and see what they say.

I have no idea if that's safe or not.

Vet prescribed Sulcrate so hopefully that will work.

I gave Lucy her first dose of sulcrate last night and this morning one side of her face is swollen. I called the vet again and she said to stop giving the sulcrate and to bring her to a vet but that’s not really an option right now. Is it possible to treat at home.

Should I give allergy meds or not?

What is the swelling from?
