Hello, sorry to hear about Pablo. In dogs that have a GI ulcer that has perforated, they typically require surgery to remove the abnormal portion of the stomach or small intestine. However, if he has not perforated, then considering medications such as with omeprazole and other gastro-protectants is adequate. Hope this helps and best of luck.
