My dog, Maggie, a 5-year-old Shih Tzu terrier mix, ate a large bully stick and has been exhibiting symptoms such as panting, discomfort, and difficulty lying down. She was taken to the vet, who found her full of gas but no obstruction. She was given omeprazole and simethicone, but she refuses to eat and has diarrhea with straining. What should I do?
