How much Pepcid? Sophie was diagnosed with pancreatitis a few months ago. She was put on a low fat prescription dog food and is doing well, except she has to be fed every couple of hours or she throws up bile. I have read that they can have Pepcid but I don't know how much. Any help would be appreciated. |
Poor little thing, you probably should check with you vet just in case, these questions can be handled over the phone. Pepcid comes in two strengths that I know, 20mg of Famotidine, or 10mg. We get the 10 mg and break it into 4ths for a 5 pound yorkie. I suggest going by the doctor just because of the pancreatitis, I think he's still want you to feed frequent meals, it's easier on the stomach. |
Zoey takes Pepcid too. I cut the pills into fourths. I was giving her 1/4 with a small meal at night but the vet said to increase it to twice per day - 1/4 with breakfast and 1/4 at night. |
We do 1/4th of a pill, generic. |
