Hi, yes a lower protein 23% & lower fat kibble is the best, I bought a higher protein-28%min & lower fat kibble about 3 months ago, its just sitting in the cupboard now, Patch loved it but every time he eats it, he starts grinding his teeth & whinging after eating it you’d think he’d learn like your dog & stop eating foods that make him uncomfortable but he doesn’t, so I’ve stop feeding any kibbles that are higher in protein… I’m having problems keeping his weight on with the low fat food & low protein but his acid reflux is much better then it was 1 year ago…..
Pepcid & Zantac are best taken before the acid reflux symptoms have started, try again & give the Pepcid or Zantac 40-60mins before any food every 12 hours, try this for a good 2-3 weeks to see any results, if the Pepcid doesn’t seem to help then maybe try Zantac (Ranitidine)….I tried the Pepcid (Famotidine) & Patch kept vomiting it back up, I don’t know why the Pepcid made him sick the Zantac didn’t…
I have found that Custard, Gluten free, thick custard helps Patch, I started giving Patch 1 teaspoon on a plate about 2 weeks ago when I came home from hospital, I had my custard from lunch that I hadn’t eaten yet, it said it was Gluten free & made with Skim milk & low in fat, so I gave Patch some on a little spoon & he seemed OK, no sloppy poos, no more grinding his teeth, so I’ve started giving Patch 2 teaspoons thick custard when he starts his whinging or grinding his teeth of a morning, normally after he has eaten his breakfast he starts the whinging some mornings…Good-Luck with Kosi
