Hi Weezerweeks,
I’d be changing vets if your boy does good while on the ant acid meds then after you have stop the meds he starts gaging, vomiting bile, pacing & eating grass again, then he is having bad acid reflux, there’s a big difference with a dog coughing, spluttering & making that awful sound I hear some smaller dogs make & a dog with acid reflux, you see them stressing, eating & pulling at grass & eating anything in their path when they have acid reflux, the acid comes up into the throat, leaves an awful taste.. Patch was lucky cause I suffer with acid reflux & have to take meds & so does Patches IBD vet & he knew all the signs & he told me to feed Patch a white meats like Turkey, white Fish, Chicken easy to digest meats & low fiber foods, no fermentable fibers foods that sit in the stomach & ferement..

Boil some sweet potato, broccoli & add meat & feed this for 1 of his meals & see if he does better then when he eats the THK base + protein??… Start keeping a diary & see whats he eating when this happens or does he wake up some mornings & wants to go outside first thing of a morning to eat grass? then you’ll have more information to tell the vet.. maybe feed 3-4 smaller meals a day, I do 2 meals at night 5pm is 1 cup meal & 8pm is 1/3 a cup meal & that gets Patch thru to the morning 7am feed..
