my dog is on purina ha for this - it is a hydrolized diet and he has ibd in small intestines and sounds like yours does too as yours is vomitting and not having diarrhea - the bad thing about small intestines is it is easier to trigger pancreas with that one and this breed is prone to pancreatitis and small intestines is right next to pancreas so when it gets back up it can trigger pancreas. Your dog is not eating because it knows it will make them sick as they are very instinctive and it is good to rest tummy - ibd dogs do best eating 3-4 small meals a day so spacing out helps with digestion

some other good foods are ultra z/d while it has chicken in it it is hydrolized. You can try natural balance venison and sweet potato or fish and sweet potato as sweet potato is not inflammatory where as white potato is

if this is persisitent and you cannot find the right diet to work you can do tylosin (tylan powder) Tylosin but i would try probiotics prior to long term antibiotics. This is a mild antibiotic that can be used for the rest of your dogs life but obviously getting a good diet is best rather than any meds or supplementation
