Cry I had a Big Scare with Gucci Yesterday & now I am Baffled...Ideas anyone?

Gucci had thrown up on Monday evening, he was still eating and drinking fine.

On Tuesday he threw up in the early morning and went about his day, He ate, drank and played. About 9 p.m he threw up again, and then he was fine AGAIN. I was then starting to get a lil worried but not so worried that I didn't think it would pass.

At about 12:30 or 1:00 the next day (yesterday) Gucci started violently vomiting .. every 30 seconds or so. It was all Yellow Frothy Bile, by the 3rd incident I got us ready to go the vet. I rushed him there and cried the whole way because he threw up about 14 times on our way there. His entire crate was soaked with yellow bile and I was so terrified for him.

We got to the vet, they freaked out because he was vomiting so much. They took him back and treated him as an emergency with all other patients on hold. They began bloodwork to check his levels and everything and after reviewing that and seeing everything was normal, they went on to do X-Rays and see if he had an obstruction. He had... GET THIS... NOTHING! WOW ... The vet was sure she would see something there.. At this point, he had been cleaned up and everything and given fluids under the Skin, a Cerenia injection and another injection for the intestinal upset.

The only thing the vet saw on the X-ray was that he has Perfect healthy hips, knees and legs and some gas pockets in his tummy. She said he may have gastro upset from something, or he may have gotten into something that is not life threatening but making him pretty sick. She didn't suspect parvo because he's fully vaccinated and 8.5 months and he was barking and somewhat "alive" still. We knew it was a "possibility" but didn't test for it because she said if he did have it, it wasn't going to be bad enough as he would have been much worse off than he was. Seeing it was in his 3rd day and he was obviously at his worse.

$319.00 out of my Rent later... I was home with Gucci and his new Zanie baby the vet gave him and he was sad, tired, and laying in bed while I sat there and worried. She sent him home with meds for vomiting and some gastrointestinal medication and told me to feed him cottage cheese and white rice or chicken and white rice.

I just don't know what else to do, Liver, Pancreas and all that was normal. White blood cells/Normal Red/Normal... I just don't understand. He was throwing up so much I thought he would die on the way there (20 minutes) It was the worst 20 minutes of my life!

I am not even worried about my rent, I am just worried about my baby bear. It was just crazy how he started vomiting like wild so suddenly.
Even the vet was baffled, she thought for sure he was poisened or had an obstruction that was at it's worst.

There were NO OTHER SYMPTOMS.. he did jump out of bed and Yelp suddenly yesterday morning as if he was in some pain.. his stomach was hard not soft like it is today. He had a bowel during all this and also Peed on himself in his crate from vomiting so much . I am just so confused..what could this have been?
