My dog has a hard stomach, fever, cough. Should I give Gaviscon?

Question

Symptoms- dry heaving, dry nose, gargling stomach, temperature, low energy, rock hard stomach, coughing, hiccups, passing wind and gag reflex. This has been happening all day, it could possibly be intergestion. If this is the case would it be okay to give him abit of Gaviscon to settle the stomach? Or if not anything else I could do? Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Female | spayed | 5 years and 3 months old

I wouldn't necessarily expect all of these signs with indigestion, and I think it would be a good idea to have Bobby examined by your vet. An elevated temperature in particular should not occur with reflux, and it is rare (though possible) for a dog to develop a cough from reflux. I would not recommend Gaviscon - it is not typically used in dogs.
