Yes my girl is 7 pounds she take half of one I think its 5mg, I'd have to look. She takes hers before bed to prevent so much acid. She used to wake up vomiting daily always first thing in the morning and only stomach acids. The pepcid has completely stopped the vomiting. Lil will be 8 in December she was roughly 8 weeks old when I got her and so loaded with parasites they caused significant damage to her gastro system. The pepcid has been a miricle with easing her belly pain. Make sure though that you talk to your Vet before giving it to your dog.

Yes, 55 lb dog, 20 mg a day ... per vet. Otherwise he throws up yellow bile regularly. Takes the Pepcid, though I buy the generic store brand, and he doesn't throw up yellow bile.

Pamghatten that's what my little girl does yellow or while foamy bile. The pepcid has stopped this at least 95%. The vet also told us to give her something small to eat late in the evening before I go to bed.

Once in a while my dog gets an upset stomach, won't eat, and I can hear his stomach making noises. Sometimes I can get him eating again with little human tidbits like toast or cheese, but I've always wondered if Pepcid would help in a situation like this. ( I know he sounds spoiled, but his stomach truly is upset. I have to get him eating food again, so whatever it takes.)

Same here Mamapinky0, small meal before bedtime helps too.

Socks, I think in your case, if you can get you dog to eat that's better than the Pepcid. My Rocky (my picture) is on seizure meds which can mess with a dogs appetite, per my vet. There are times he doesn't want to eat and I can hear his stomach making noises, even on the Pepcid. I can usually find something that he will eat, and his stomach calms down.

Sassy had kidney disease and had stopped eating. Vet gave her famotidine, aka Pepcid and she started eating again. Kidney dogs get acidic from a build up of phosphorus and can get ulcers.

For a regular upset tummy where the dog got into something extra try slippery elm bark powder. Late in life the raw diet disagreed with Max and as I was working through possible issues I'd mix it up and dab some on his nose. He would decide it helped and would eat some from the spoon. He would climb on my lap all tense and hurting and in 5 minutes would relax as it did the job. I worked on it for less than a week before giving up on raw and with the SEB he wasn't suffering.

For a dog that's otherwise healthy but has those awful 'bile' upchucks early in the morning a snack before bed eliminates most of them but a diet switch might help. Max about ruined my carpet even with nightly snacks when on kibble. I noticed on a higher fat zero fiber raw diet he didn't need that snack and completely stopped those upchucks. He seemed to be sensitive to fiber from veggies and preferred an extremely low fiber diet, either raw or when he didn't tolerate raw, cooked with a bit of white rice.

I offer mushy white rice and chicken breast when dogs had upset tummies.

Thank you, Pam.

Socks, I echo Pam's advice.

My dog threw up regularly (preceded by that awful gurgling sound) and the vet prescribed medication. For a second opinion, I took him to a holistic healer who told me that it was caused by too-long intervals without food.. We started giving 3 small meals with a spoonful of food at bedtime, then gradually reduced it to 2 with a small bedtime snack. Problem solved!

this is a very interesting discussion. my dog does not tolerate kibble, it gives her runny stool and no raw diet so I cook for her , chicken breast, green beans, carrots and sweet potatoes, she also gets multivitamin, probiotic, seaweed calcium, salmon oil and glucosamine chondroitin supplements. once in a while she get frightened by thunder or fireworks, loud booms, and then she trembles and hides, after its over for a couple of days, her tummy makes gurgling sounds and she eats very little, so the vet said to give her pepcid, within half hour of getting the pepcid she is looking for food and starts to be herself

Bile vomiting is a very common problem and it is absolutely not caused by too long intervals between feedings, although this workaround is often recommended by vets. Feeding often only serves to keep the bile acids diluted so they are less irritating to the stomach lining and the body does not need to eject them. If researchers were studying this problem objectively we'd have firm answers by now but unfortunately R&D is confined to potential money-makers like drugs and other suppressive agents. In the meantime, we're left to theorize. My theory is that overconsumption of fat causes over production of bile and the psychological expectation of food then causes bile to back up into the stomach. That's why many dogs experience bile vomiting around meal time. When I first formulated this theory, I was raw feeding my dog but was not careful about fat. After I cut back on the fat (but still all raw), he continued to vomit bile for a couple months but then he stopped completely and never did again in his 19-year life. I wrote a blog post about bile vomiting on my website that gives a lot more detailed info: www.NoMoreVetBills.com.
