I don't know about giving Zantac, my vet has only ever prescribed Pepcid.
For Pepcid, the usual dose is between 1/4 to 1/2 milligrams per pound of dog wright. For a 10 LB dog as mine is that means 2.5 to 5.0 mg dose and for a 5 LB dog, it would be half that dose. Pepcid lowest OTC tablets are 10 mg and they have to be split. I find anything less than a quarter tablet is not possible as the tabs get crushed. I also gave an excellent anti nausea med called Cerenia and it worked wonders.
Unless the dog has an ulcer, my vet did not prescribe Sucralfate.
Hopefully by now you have taken your baby to the vet and you will have a diagnosis and treatment. Hope she is feeling better now and that is was just a minor tummy upset.
