So, he is on 3 meds and a special diet and it isn't helping and the vet is confused?
If it was my situation I would do a bile acid test. It should come back clean but if it doesn't then that is probably your problem. If it comes back clean then there is no reason not to consider an ultrasound (except money) because it shows lots of things. It would show an inflammed pancreas. If it was an ulcer, wouldn't these meds be helping?
When Ellie had an ultrasound the vet said her pancreas was inflammed (pancreatitis). Her only symptom was one week before the ultrasound she threw up all day and couldn't hold food down. So while it probably isn't his problem, it certainly could be.
Dark stool can mean blood but it can also mean excess iron or maybe an upset stomach. I don't think it always means blood...
Since he is vomiting with no diarrhea, it is less likely colitis or something like that I would think.
Sometimes they throw up if the food is too rich for them but Canidae doesn't fit in that category.
How long are these meds suppose to take to work?
