We were told by a vet hospital to give our cat 1/4 tablet of Famotidine [10mg] for Acid Indigestion. It is a generic name fpr Pepcid AC. We give it to him when he cries after eating. It seems to settle him for quite a few days. You may have to give it for a few days in a row. Of course, check with your vet to rule out other problems. We cover it in butter.

Pros: easy to give

Cons: owner monitors

very good for dogs with upset stomachs i have to put it in a little cheese wizz to get him to take it

Pros: Great for stomachs

Cons: getting them to take it

We had great luck giving 1/4 tablet to each of our three CRF cats. It was easy to find in almost any drug store, easy to quarter, and small enough to fit into a gelcap with other meds for an "all-in-one" administration. At higher levels of acid, though, it became ineffective and we had to switch meds.

Pros: Helps ease stomach upset from CRF

Cons: May not work in all cases

My cat, PJ, had to take this. His stomach would get upset easily. It was a side-effect of chronic renal failure. We had to switch to this after the prescribed medication drove him nuts. This did a great job without the side effect of craziness.

Pros: very effective

Cons: should be vet supervised
