My dog always eats lots of grass when his stomach is upset. It’s all frozen outside and he keeps trying. Can I give him tums or something to help. He also is passing gas a lot.

You can give Roscoe one dose (10mg) of famotidine just once. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Equate-Original-Strength-Acid-Reducer-Famotidine-Tablets-10-mg-90-Ct/10325061 I would give that and then no food until tomorrow morning. Having water available is fine. He is really adorable and I can tell you love him so if he doesn't seem better by tomorrow morning then you should get him to your vet for an exam. Hope this helps. Best wishes!
