Can you give antacids to dogs?
Do not give any human drugs, medicines, vitamins, etc., to a dog without the express instruction of a veterinarian. Antacids suppress the formation of acid in the stomach, which can predispose the dog to stomach and intestinal infections. Also, dogs rarely have problems with over-production of acids, so this will rarely have any benefit for the dog. Finally, antacids available to humans are dosed out for human needs - the doses for dogs are often very different.

What are the treatments for an ulcer?
Most pharmacologic approaches rely on reducing the level of acidity in the GI tract by one of several mechanisms. Antacids are the most common products used, but if overused can cause "milk-alkali" syndrome where either a laxative effect (from magnesium-containing antacids) or constipation (from calcium-containing antacids) can occur. The level of acidity in the stomach is measured by "pH", which indicates the amount of free hydrogen ions are in the stomach. The empty stomach has a pH of about 2; food intake tends to buffer this and increase the pH to about 6. This is also why ulcer patients report worse stomach pains at night, when their stomach is empty and most acidic. Newer products are histamine-antagonist agents (like Tagamet, Zantac) which can consistently help reduce the acid production of the stomach and allow healing of ulcers. Proton-pump inhibitor agents like Prilosec, Aciphex,or Prevacid are even better at acid inhibition. It has also been found that many people with stomach/duodenal ulcers have chronic symptoms due to a chronic infection by a bacteria called Camplyobacter. Most people in the general population have this in their stomach, which resides in the mucous layer of the stomach lining and is thereby protected by acid attack. Often a blood test is used to determine if a person has this chronic infection, in which case an intensive two-week course of antibiotics is given, usually along with a proton-pump inhibitor for at least a year.
