VerifiedHello,this is Dr Andrey I am an experienced vet and I am happy to be able to help you
Acid reflux is common condition after a stomach surgery or with stomach inflammation
Omeprazole is fine to give him every day once daily and for how long he will need antacid medication is individually ,I would give him 10-14 days and then to see how he goes after,sometimes needs much longer treatment
Also it is very important his diet -mainly soft foods and I would add a cooked white rice or a boiled white rice water as the starch covers the stomach inside and helps healing the mucousa
I hope it helps
If you need anything further in this matter please feel free to follow up with me on here
You are welcome
