Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | spayed | 80 lbs

My gsd twisted its stomach and had an operation and survived. However despite feeding veterinary diet of hills digestive care I.d she belches and passes wind frequently and has a nasty taste in her mouth. Fed five times daily. Taking Omeprazol taken daily and mucogel fluid three times daily . what else can I give or do for my dog to eleviate the reflux and belching ? As she spins in her cage in the car due to excitement I am afraid to take her in the car due to risk ! Any suggestions ?

I'm sorry Ranger had a GDV but am glad she survived. You can try feeding her smaller more frequent meals. She may also require something for the gas. I would call your veterinarian to see if they can dispense something for her without seeing her.
