Cowboy's mom,

Welcome. What is your Corgis name?

I had a Pem that passed away this past December at the age of approx 13 1/2 and she had stomach problems for the past two years. She suffered from Pancreatitis quite often - sometimes, not always vomiting food but yellow flem stuff and her stomach would gurgle expecially in the early morning.

For her my vet recommended that I feed her a late meal before bed about 10 p.m.(about 1/4) cup of food which helped cut down the production of bile during her sleeping hours.(this did help),

Also, she took over the counter Pepsid AC twice a day - a small dose(you would have to ask your vet about that) This helped settle down the acid production in her stomach. She also took something called Metaclopromide(not sure that is spelled right) once in awhile which helped with the motility of her gut.

When she had her bouts of pancreatitis, I fed her canned Science Hill ID which she was able to tolerate well.

Bring these options up to your vet and see what he/she says. I hope you can find some tummy relief for your dog. Not fun for the dog and not fun for you to watch.

Linda
