Hi Carlene, I do not use ACV for Patch, it can make acid reflux worse & burn the throat when the stomach acid comes up into the throat, as my daughter discovered when she was pregnant & I told her to have 1 teaspoon Braggs ACV it made her symptoms worse, its so hard to tell are you or is the animal not making enough Hydrochloric acid or making too much Hydrochloric acid??……
Do you know what I do, I buy the red delicious apples that are sweet & not acidity… I cut out 1/4 of the apple & wrap the rest of the apple in cling wrap & put the apple in fridge for next day, I peel the 1/4 of the apple piece & remove any seeds then I cut into little pieces I have a piece & I give Patch a piece I started giving 3 small pieces every morning when he would feel sick & have his symptoms of acid reflux & eat grass, some mornings the pieces of apple made him worse & other mornings he was OK, I have stopped the apple pieces cause we had more bad days after eating the apple then good days but it showed me that Patch is making too much Hydrochloric acid the days he was worse & the days he was OK after eating the pieces of apple he had no acid…… its called Hypochlorhydria (Lack of Stomach Acid) there’s a really good human group on F/B called “Fast Tract Diet (official Group) run by Dr Norm Robillard, he’s written a few books how to have a healthy gut, SIBO, Heartburn Diet, what foods to eat & avoid.. I’d say it would also apply with a dog the diets… I’ve emailed him a few times about Patch & what to do, you have to avoid feeding foods that have Soluble fiber & ferment in the gut & high fat foods… https://www.facebook.com/groups/FastTractDiet/
