Our 7 pound 5 year dog gets 1/4 a Pepcid when his tummy is upset. He had bleeding ulcers as a pup. As always, ASK your vet first.

I agree, it's ALWAYS best to ask your vet first

And wow...bleeding ulcers, my gosh, that poor baby

Hi Brooke! The medicine that Libby is on is Amforol and it is liquid. I give it to her in a syringe and she loves it! The vet said it was good tasting stuff. LOL It is doing it's thing because Libby is much improved. Her fever is down and she isn't sleeping as much...her poop is firm again! Yeah!

Before she got really bad, she and Maddie were taking turns with diarrhea. I'd wake to poop everywhere. Needless to say, I'm sick of poop! LOL They got over that on there own, and then Libby started in with mushy poop...and when she had to go, it just came out...no getting outside in time! Then it turned to diarrhea with a little blood in it and lots of mucous. She threw up too, but not as much that as the diarrhea. My vet thinks she got a bacterial infection from probably eating something outside when the snow melted and all the rotten stuff that was under the snow. I think she probably ate rabbit poop...the little stinker!

If little Tate's tummy is growling again, she's probably not over whatever she had. I guess you better stick with the pink stuff and if she seems worse, get her into the vet. It seems, at least with my two, when they get a tummy upset, they have a hard time getting rid of it on their own.
Sending get well kisses to little Tate. Hope she is feeling better and over the tummy squeaks soon!

Thanks

I was searching for a dosage amount and it brought up this thread, so I thought I'd post this table I found for anyone out there who wondered how much to give of what:
