Guest Bethf03 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I see a lot of talk about using Pepcid, what is it used for, or good for what ale's them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sweetpea Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Sweetpea used to get a gurgly gassy tummy, and wouldn't eat. I tried pepcid to calm it down so she'd eat. Now I use bits of bread soaked in pepto bismol, but since I've got her on food that agrees with her, we don't need to do this nearly as often. (Maybe once a quarter, if that) Buzzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest longdogs Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I wouldn't use it. I'm not convinced the 'gurgly tummy' that affects some dogs is at all the same as human indigestion. The gurgles sort themselves out in a day or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelseysmom Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 (edited) We give it to Kelsey because she has symptoms of colitis. Our vet agreed with us a couple of years ago to treat her symptomatically rather than put her through an endoscopy, but her symptoms of not only a "gurgly" stomach but also of diarrhea (sometimes bloody and with mucus) pointed pretty solidly toward colitis. Giving her Pepcid 20 mgs. twice daily has really helped. I agree that I would never give it to a pup for just gas sounds.
