He's only vomited once in his life after he ate grass but he has spit up foamy bile 4 - 5 times a year until this episode. I have seen him do that belching/licking/swallowing thing before & thought he looked like he was having reflux.

Also earlier this morning Tibbe was changing positions frequently, moving from one spot to another. He just seemed uncomfortable, his tummy was pretty firm & I could hear some loud sounds in there.

I took Tibbe outside, he was just standing around, but then Gracie & Rusty, the two Corgi's next door came out and after a while, he ran over to them - though at first he just stood there. He played up & down the fence with Rusty & when he came in the house, he took his "Good Potty outside" piece of Science Diet Sensitive Stomach kibble, which he'd turned down earlier this morning twice. After that, his ears are back up, and at 11:00 a.m., he picked up his chew bone & started playing with it, throwing & chasing it. His tummy is now soft again & his eyes aren't big. He's been napping in one spot now for about 10 minutes - just seems more comfortable.

I wonder if his combo Science Diet Sensitive/Iams Pro-Active Health Adult kibble soup was just too rich for his tummy and/or I gave him too much - about 3-5 tablespoonsful of the soup, causing acid, gas & that reflux. I wish I'd remembered to use the Hill's I/D - but have it sitting out so can't forget it for his next meal.

I agree with you two that he does need something to stop his acid for good & staying on that low fat diet for however long is necessary, or forever, if it won't cause long term problems. Since I'm hurting so badly from PT yesterday & my exercises this morning, now that he's better, I think I will observe him for one more day and see if he has another rocky episode after eating Hill's tonight & then again in the a.m. for breakfast & then take him back to the vet tomorrow, so I have a little more to go on for the vet. I'm just hurting so hard right now that if I can & he still acts like he's not unhappy or sick the rest of the day, I'll stay here on this couch using ice on/off for a while & not go vetting again until tomorrow. Course, if he gets ears down, mopey or I hear gas, spits up again, see/hear/feel a firm tummy, we're going then.
