Hey Susan! He was given metronidazole and amoxicillin for 3 weeks they actually didn’t even tell me about doing an acid reducer but then when the course was over they thought he had been on it. I guess they just forgot to mention it so technically he didn’t do the triple therapy. I did put him on omeprazole a while back and i couldn’t tell a difference on him. Maybe I can try again! It’s also so hard because you have to give in the am on empty stomach right? But he eats every 2 hours so it’s so hard to get him on empty and then him not eat cause 1 he will cry non stop till he gets food and 2 I’m afraid of a bellyache if he goes too long with food. Also when he did two the metronidazole and amoxicillin course I didn’t tell a difference either. Like you said, im not sure if h pylori being in his biopsy was from it just being there cause most dogs do or if it was large amounts. At first I was convinced he didn’t have ibd and it’s just really bad h pylori but then when we did the treatment, all the pains and issues were still there so idk what to do anymore! 😩 I’m drained mentally and physically. It’s been a long 10 months.

Oh and I wouldn’t mind cooking for him especially if it’s going to make him feel better but they balance it people and my vet never came to terms about what we’re doing and that all fell through. My vet ended up saying that he was doing fine on the pork diet which is the RC low fat that maybe that was finally his match.
