I am sorry Cinammon is nor feeling well! I will keep her in my thoughts/prayers that she recovers quickly!

I have changed vets due to this very issue. My Magic has a very sensative tummy and many, many visits with no suggestion of a longer term solution - I found a different vet that is great. The new vet immediately changed her food to a diet for Colitis (spelling?) and while I was not fond of the high fiber food.....it definately worked wonders!! It is now a year later and life is very different for all of us! What the vet explained to us was that some of these little dogs have very sensative tummies that easily get out of balance....and the trick is finding something that will stabalize them and then allow nature to bring back that balance to the stomach. Once Magic got stable on Purina One DCO (for Colitis) we began adding a small amount of plain yogurt.....after about 9 months we have been able to switch Magic's food - she is currently eating Natural Balance Sweet Potatoe and Fish....which is good for sensative tummies - and a little yogurt. Magic has gained some weight back and has not been sick since last Christmas.....which we never thought would happen.

My suggestion is to look into other vets....find one that is good with little dogs and if possible good with little dogs with stomach issues....these vets are around and I hope you can find one!

Good luck and I hope Cinnamon gets feeling better very soon!!
