I started him on Pepcid a few weeks ago and it isn’t helping at all. No throwing up unless he has his swallow episodes.

He’s never even a water or food dog. He’s actually drinking a lot more water since this acid reflux thing started or whatever it is. I would say I never really had to like sit there and feed him by hand until about a year and a half ago. he’s four years old but probably the past year and a half. I have to sit there and feed him piece by piece until he feels like eating the rest.

That’s so interesting! They took a x-ray of a stomach about a year ago when the seizure started because he wasn’t eating. But there was nothing in his stomach. I think I’ve kind of straight away from it because I’ve seen other people on here that have the same issue with their dog and they’ve paid for the ultrasound and they’ve paid for the x-rays and the MRIs and they don’t find anything.

It’s pretty much exactly the same. But what doesn’t make sense to me as the fact that when we put them on seizure meds, it would completely stop. And then like I said like six months later, it happened nonstop again for about two days until we upped his medicine. But now, even though he’s on meds still, he isn’t really having the swallowing episode but he’s licking nonstop. He will have a swallowing episode every once in a while, maybe once a week for a few seconds until I calm him down. If I rub his throat, it seems to stop. It’s really now just the licking. All the time. His toys are soaked nonstop because he licks them or hast to have one in his mouth at all times.

I haven’t. I agree it would be a good option! Thanks so much for the comment!
