You can but it also depends on what you are giving it for. The call to your vet is free you know.

Pepcid A/C 10mg NOT COMPLETE is what my vet prescribes for upset stomachs, one every 12 hours, however, both of my dogs are over 60lbs. If you have a small breed dog I would highly recommend speaking with your vet before giving any medication EVER.

You can give syrup of ipecac to dogs, but in large doses it can be toxic. You can give 1 teaspoon of syrup for every 10 pounds of weight safely. If your dog does not vomit, do not redoes and call your veterinarian.

Probably not. Ipecac should not be given to people who are in, or potentially in, a coma, and by the time the symptoms become evident, the alcohol is already in the intestines where the ipecac will have no effect.
