Zantac canine dosages ; tagament for canines ;
English bulldog vomiting; english bulldog Tagament dosages ;

Hi Phill - Glad you contacted me!  Sure - you are feeding foods that have too much corn and other junk fillers.  Let's get her on a better food that is easy to digest:
*here are a few you can look for:  
-Wellness whitefish and sweet potato
-California Naturals
-Solid Gold Barking at the Moon
(IF YOU can't find them, I can suggest a few more good quality low grain or No grain foods:

Also, Tagament - give 1 per day - at night - before bed in some cheese?
MOST vets will offer Tagament for a dog like yours with the vomiting.
Here is the dosages:

TAGAMET (Cimetidine)/PEPCID-AC/ZANTAC:

Reduces the amount of stomach acids and can be dispensed to dogs and cats suffering from ulcers, acid reflux or belly ache. Sometimes they are used to prevent ulcers in animals taking other medications. These medications are given once to twice daily. It's best to discuss the exact dosage with your veterinarian.

Tagamet/Pepcid-AC/Zantac--- Dosage
one or twice daily  
20-60 lb dog = ½ tablet  ( YOUR baby can have 1/2 tablet in the am or pm, or JUST in the PM)



Good NEW food and Tagament should do the trick!
