Animal Smiley 049 Pepcid AC

Mia has been throwing up yellowish foam off and on for a few weeks. Vet said it sounds like acid reflux and to put her on 1/4 a tablet of Pepcid AC. Anyone else have to give their yorkie Pepcid for acid reflux? I just bought a pack but am always hesitant to give them something outside of the norm. Vet says it is safe to give to dogs so I guess I need reassurance. Originally I took her to a different vet who felt something odd under her belly so they did an X-ray. The vet noticed an abnormal object in her tummy and small intestine. She was acting normal aside from occasionally throwing up so i waited and took her to my main vet the next afternoon. He didn't notice anything abnormal with her body and said the object on the X-ray could be food and wasn't a clear indication of something blocking her system. He said when dogs have blockages, they are really sick and can't keep any food down. She had been pooping and peeing normal as well as drinking and eating. So $400 later, I'm ordered to give her Pepcid AC so just wanted to know if anyone else gives this to their pups.
