Default Plastic stuck in my puppy's Belly

Well, I've been dealing with my puppy Cody's Diarrhea problems since I got him on March 3rd. They day I brought him home he pooped out some green plastic. The breeder said some of her dogs chewed up a chew toy then he got a piece of it. He has had diarrhea ever since. The vets have had him on medicine for coccidia, then for bacteria. Everytime he was on the medicine, he was fine then his diarhea would come back. I have had him on prescription I/d food. (This is just a general overview of what was going on.)
The vet said there is almost no chance that he has any of the plastic still stuck in him. The vet thought that he had some sort of parasite or cocidia that just wouldn't leave.


Well today, Cody pooped out a piece of green plastic about the size of 3 quarters put together. The plastic was exactly like the kind he pooped out on March 3rd. I believe it has been lodged in him all along. I know that it is not anything that he has eaten at my house becuase he doesn't have any green toys and there is nothing else green that he could have eaten.

Has anyone had a similar experience?

My breader has helped with a little bit of the bills since I have a 1 year warranty on the dog but she is very difficult to get her to help out. She had me tell her that this was the final bill last time I got her to give me money, even though he has still had problems. My question is, do you think I should insist that she help pay for more bills regarding this issue? I may have to get an ex-ray to make sure it is all out. The vet wants to wait a few days to see if he starts pooping normal.

Poor little guy, keep him in your prayers. Thanks.
