Kim ... if the dog "acting" like it doesn't feel well, or is he vommiting ? I might try full fat yogurt and acidophilous before i actually dispensed soemthign to quell the symptoms. If a dog is "sick" ya want to KNOW it, since it can't say " I still don't feel well". Does this guy get special food for a sensitive stomach ? Is this the little fellow I painted ?
Grover swallowed a piece of corn cob over a year ago and wasn't feeling so well... x-rays didn't show it, because the vet thought it looked like undigested food. So she sent us home with a "prescription" for boiled chicken and rice, and one Pepcid with each meal. Just regular Pepcid, she specifically said not Pepcid AC. Who knows why...
Hope Gretta, Wilbur, and Jenna are OK and don't have tummy aches!

My son uses pepcid for his adult 50 lb. bully on advice of Dr. Kinnear. He recommended one a day for throwing up bile and said he could increase to twice a day if the condition didn't improve, but he hasn't had a need to increase to twice a day. The dosage was 10 mg., and it's the original pepcid ac. Love them Bulldogs!

I have to say I've never used pepcid..if you do and it works please repost and let us know. I use children's gravol for upset bully tummies and it works quite well.

I replied to this and it disappeared, how wierd!
We use Pepcid for Oscar and it works fine. We give him one tablet in a 24 hour period. It helps settle his stomach if he is vomiting.
I have only used pepto
