Sharon:<BR><BR>I , like yourself, just started reading the daily drool .
We just rescued a <BR>young female basset, Honey, who had been having a problem
with an upset <BR>stomach early in the morning. She had been going out an
eating grass first <BR>thing in the morning and then vomiting. She ended
up with aspiration <BR>pneumonia as a result of one of her vomiting
incidents. It has been <BR>suggested by 2 vets to give her Pepcid AC
at bedtime and to also give her a <BR>small amount of her food (reserved
from her evening meal) also late at <BR>night. Apparently the acid in her
empty stomach was causing the problem. <BR>She seems to be doing much better
now, so we are keeping her on this late <BR>night regimen of Pepcid AC and
feeding her a little of her reserved dinner <BR>late at night. You might
want to ask your vet if this might help your <BR>hound.<BR><BR>This is our 3rd
basset; and each one has had her own unique special issues. <BR>It sure is nice
to have feedback via the Daily Drool on how to deal with these unique
issues. <BR>Good luck...Judi and her love pup,
Honey.</FONT><BR><BR></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
