Okay so we've had Dolce for over 2 weeks now, he seems to be throwing up at least every three days, with a little trace of blood in it. He had diarrhea when we first got him, took him to the emergency vet they did a parvo test on his fecal, came back negative. After the metro was done his stools hardened up again. We switched him to raw food and he threw up so we thought it was the food, we switched him back completely to orijen after a few days instead of feeding raw and orijen. Took him to our regular vet last week to get his 3rd shots, they did a fecal test for parasites and that came back negative. Now today he threw up it was mucousy, thick, chunky, quite a bit of pink. His stools started to become wet again. We called a different emergency vet that our breeder recomended and they said not to feed him anything except rice tomorrow and see if he throws up again.

I'm not sure what it could be, the breeder has never had an experience like this. Said it could be an ulcer, maybe he's really stressed because he doesn't like us (i don't think it's the case cause he follows us around and likes to cuddle), he even was kind of hinting that maybe we were beating him (i was kind of offended at that one) and the vets aren't being too helpful right now. Anyone have any ideas or a similar case like this?
