Charlie is my 7 year old spayed female yorkie with a complicated h/o lower urinary tract infections (UTI). At 2.5 yo she had uncomplicated bladder stone removal (struvite stones) and she has been eating the RoyalCanin SO food (RX food for UTI issues) for the past 4.5 years with only 1 recurrence of a UTI. We have given her 1/4 tab of craninidine (sp?) bioactive cranberry extract as well. She has recently begun to lick the air, carpet, floor after eating dinner for roughly 20-30 minutes. I assumed she was having acid reflux and we started her on 2.5mg of famotidine 30 minutes before giving her dinner but it hasn't helped. I'm headed to the vet to ask for any diet alternatives or different dosage on GERD meds to see if we can fix the issue. Any suggestions or anyone have similar problems with their yorkie ?
