Antacid are substances used to neutralized excess stomach acid (HCl). It's used to relieve acid indigestion, upset stomach, sour stomach, and heart burn. Some examples of basic antacids we use today are: Milk of magnesia, Rolaids, Tums, Pepto-Bismol, Alka-Seltzer, ect.
When your stomach is upset, it is usually due to an increase in the acidity (decrease in pH) of your stomach. Since your stomach is thus more acidic than what is usual, bases such as Alka-Seltzer and Pepto-Bismol help to neutralize some of the stomach acid that's causing the problems, thus bringing the user some relief. Bases have a higher pH than acids, and thus, when mixed with acids, depending on the strength of the base, will neutralize it to some degree.
Possibly hunger, signs of nausea, (heartburn), indigestion, upset stomach, diarreah. Yay Peptol Bismol!!
I would strongly recommend calling your veterinarian first - dogs can have severe stomach problems that can be made worse with Pepto-Bismol, including gastric dilation and torsion and foreign bodies. Although not fun for the dog, it's generally better to let your dog ride through a bout of upset stomach without medication - he should be fine in about 12 hours and acting like normal again. However, in some cases veterinarians do use bismuth sulfate (the active ingredient in Pepto-Bismol) to treat minor cases of indigestion and diarrhea in dogs. It is important to check with your veterinarian regarding dosage for your dog (it is based on weight and health status, so it needs to be individually tailored) and the formula needs to be the original Pepto-Bismol with no other active ingredients.
