Hi, he might need an ant acid like Zantac or Pepcid, My boy weights 37lb & was taking 1/3 Zantac tablet 30min-60mins before breakfast then 10-12 hours later another 1/3 Zantac tablet or I give Mylanta 3mls when I see him wanting grass to spew also low fat kibble & feed a late meal…. I feed 3 -4 meals a day… I feed 2 dinners, instead of feeding the whole 1 & 1/2 cup at 5pm.. I give 1 cup kibble at 5pm then the other 1/2 cup kibble around 7pm-7.30pm so his stomach isn’t empty thru the night…I have stopped his Zantac now & just give Mylanta if I see him licking lips & swallowing…. also wet or cooked meal is better then kibble when they have acid reflux problems….
The only way to know what is going on is to have a Endoscope + Biopsies to see what’s happening.. my boy had Helicobacter of the stomach, he was put on triple therapy antibiotics Metronidazole Amoxicillin & Zantac for 3 weeks then a diet change that was lower in fat & low carbs… I give cooked for breakfast & a light lunch then feed the kibble for dinner… vet said to do more smaller meals thru the day instead of just 2 large meals a day & it seems to help.. try a limited ingredient kibble that’s low in fat around 10%fat & feed 3-4 smaller meals including the late dinner feed & see how he goes & give some liquid Mylanta or Pepcid when you see him not well or I give the Mylanta 30min before breakfast thru the day if I see him licking & licking lips…
