It just frustrates me when a vet, who is probably irritated that someone obtained some info on-line - gives out incorrect information out of spite, rather than just being factual. Giving an anti-nausea agent does not make a dog vomit more; the dog will vomit more if it was going to vomit more *already*.

The Use of Bismuth Subsalicylate (Pepto Bismol) in Pets
Bismuth Subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol®, Kaopectate®)
Dog Diarrhea Pepto Bismol and other Treatments Without a Prescription

And this is interesting - as it's the Home Emergency Kit given to Police Dog Handlers. What's interesting is that it recommends Pepto Tablets - which actually isn't good bc whole tablets often won't dissolve (as seen HERE) - so, you'd think they'd be more firm about recommending liquid . Either way - that whole list is pretty interesting.
