msjpk Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 My soon to be 13 year old (in June) has been throwing up and its when his stomach is empty. He has been hungry more often and I feed him small meals throughout the day and have been giving him Pepcid. I have made up my mind and no heroics, no invasive testing. He is not loosing weight. Just one hack and he throws up, no heaving. Has anyone had experience with this. Of course a vet visit is in the near future. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cwholsin Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Sounds like he's regurgitating, rather than vomiting (the heaving, laborious bringing something up). When Hermes was doing that, it was acid reflux. Maybe the pepcid isn't strong enough? I'd take him into the vet for a check- up! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a simple fix!

tbhounds Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 If you want to stay conservative you might want to try Prilosec rather than Pepcid to see if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
