I had it once & he's acting like that. He ate his kibble soup(fed it without remembering I was going to use the Hill's I/D I have) this morning but he's been very unhappy since, moping around, big eyes looking at me.

So, it is the vet again for us once surgery hours are over today. He's been like this before over the weekend & I gave him 1/2 cc of Maalox but yesterday, his regular vet said not to use Maalox on him now. It seemed to help him almost immediately when I did use it. I'm wondering if "heartburn" can make a dog act this unhappy. His belly is not especially hard or distended though it doesn't feel it's normal soft self. This boy has every other day problems, it seems. He has a good day and then the next is bad. I'm wondering what in the world is next.
Heartburn is very annoying. Poor guy. Maybe the vet will suggest Pepcid...do hope that is all this is.
