Hi Pacer,
Susan is 100% correct. My corgi is almost 8 and started having acid reflux when I put her on higher fat food. She had the same symptoms that you described: pacing, confused, whimpering, but still eating her food like it would never be offered again. I literally just got back from the veterinarian and they gave the same advice Susan did. My girl is now taking 10mg of Famotidine (Pepcid) twice daily, and Purina Fortiflora with a complete diet change to low fat kibble. I am going to put her on Hill’s Science Diet Sensitive Stomach kibble for the next 8 weeks. If she doesn’t improve or worsens (stops eating, more whimpering or starts vomiting) then we will go back in for an ultra sound of her stomach and intestines. My vet only plans to do an endoscope if necessary. I also noticed that my dog’s teeth have more tartar than before the high fat food.
Hope this helps!
