How Can I Quiet My Dog's Gurgly Stomach?

Q: My Maltese seems to have a real gurgly stomach. He acts fine but it is quite loud. Any suggestions?

A:This type of noise can occur in dogs and not mean that there is a problem. If your dog is not vomiting or having loose stool, this noise may just be normal, just like it happens to us! If your dog is getting different types of foods it is possible that this may upset the stomach. Avoid medications like Pepto Bismol, but Pepcid AC is safe for dogs and can help with acid production or a "sour" stomach.

My dog has gastric ulcers and throws up lots of bile everyday. She has been on Omerprezole (20mg/once a day) for a month along with Sulfurcate 500 mg twice a day. There has been no improvement. Can I give Pepcid AC along with Prilosec?
