I don't know if this will help you but my Yorkie Pucci has had tummy prob for about 5 or 6 yrs now. He is going to be 13 in January and is doing great now and has been for a few years (diminished tummy prob).

When it all started he would gag up bile. It became more frequent. The Vet recommend Pepto and Pepsid AC. The Vet told me he had allergies. Well I did some research and to me it looked like he had acid reflux. So I started feeding him smaller meals 4x a day. That helped a lot. At first the Vet was telling me to give him the Pepsid 1/4 tablet 2x's a day for 4days a week. And that would last about 3 to 4weeks with each episode. When I cut his meals into smaller portions (easier to digest) that number of times he had to have the Pepsid reduced to maybe 2days for one week every 2 months. Then I started to mix very high priced canned dog food (no by prod and chick broth instead of water) in with his dry dog food and the episodes are now maybe once every 6 months that he would need a Pepcid.

Of course you can tell when your baby is getting a funny tummy when he starts to refuse food and he can't sleep on and off at night.

Pucci is doing real good now...he even runs into the kitchen for his food.

Hope I have given you some ideas...Vets are not always right & some times you can compare your pets illness to a humans by the habits he goes thru. The Vet disagreed with me and was in denial that I was right. I do not go to him any more for other reasons (I think he is a crook). Went to him for 9 years and now I wouldn't give him the right time of day (and that is putting it nicely).

But Good luck with your baby...hope you find a remedy for him and he feels better real soon.
