Default Pepcid

Hi. Sorry your baby has these issues. In my post number two above I wrote that my dog had Pepcid too.
After he had a bout of pancreatitis he also had an acid stomach that the vet prescribed pepcid for. He eats four small Hills ID Low Fat kibble as he always is hungry but tended to throw up foam in the am if not fed on time. I do feed him a little food prior to bed. I have been keeping to this low fat regimen for years and he has been fine. I get special chewy Pepcid from a vet compounder and vary the dose at night with his last snack from a third of the 5 mg chewy to a quarter of the chewy. It is so much easier than the human tablets to split, and is chicken flavored so he loves it. If he needs it in the day I can give Pepcid then too. But so far he has been doing well with no ill effects on his lab tests so far. So long term it has been fine here. He is 10 pounds in weight.
I have not tried the vinegar.
I wonder if your dog has been tested for some GI issue that is causing his problem? Also more frequent meals, or the canned food, and no high fat treats might help? Good luck.
I too hate giving meds but this one has been a great help with my dog anyway.
But of course you should get vet advice for your particular dog and case
