Our 85lbs male grey has eaten something in the yard and now has terrible gas and possibly a stomach ache. Is it ok to give him pepto bismol and if so how much? Like I said he weighs 85lbs and it quite meaty. Thanks. Also any suggestion would be helpful.

Try Gas-X instead. One pill should do it. Do you know what he ate? Has he vomited?

 

If it's only that he has stinky gas and no other signs, some greyhounds are a bit farty even on their regular food.

For Gas Pains - GasX works better. just make sure to get the kind that is plain Gas-X, not Acid control or other varieties. You will usually hear a loud belch shortly after giving it.

 

Pepto is fine for diarrhea. I usually start with 1 tablet and see how it goes. I will give a second one if it persists. Pepto will turn tongue and stool black. Nothing to be alarmed about. You might need to put the Pepto tablet in cheese.

 

I would start with the Gas X and monitor from there.
