No, I would not give gripe water to Porter, it's not specified for use in dogs. I can give you a home remedy instead to see if that helps with Porter's upset stomach. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet.
