I suggest you have him dewormed as he may be getting worms from eating the bird poop. We don't know why dogs eat bird poop but many dogs do. While it is not recommended there is not really anything you can do to stop him other than keeping him physically away from it. This probable is not related to the stomach acid or sucralfate administration.
