I think that the meds are coving up the root cause, as you would say
" Sticking a band aid over it "

I haven't given him the tablets as I am convinced it is not the answer
I want to get the the reason.

So I am seeing if it is the food, I won't know if I am giving him anti - sickness drugs, I wouldn't know if they were working or the change in food was or both.

So I am only changing his food. The longest we have gone is 2 days with no sickness, we almost got to 3 days and then he was sick.

Today, Friday will be the third day if we get him through it, and that will be the best in 4 weeks.

I don't like treating just the symtoms, only temorarily, but I don't believe it is the real answer.

The vet would have to refer him somewhere else for a scope and an operation if it is that muscle I mentioned.

So all he can give him is drugs. So the attirude the vet has is our answer is medicine not surgery (ONLY BECAUSE THEY CAN'T DO THE SURGERY)

However, that is only relevant if it is this muscle and that is only a suggestion at this stage.
