I'm still concerned. She eats and drinks normally, but I still feel she throws up a lot. She vomits anytime we try a new treat or chew and when she gets overly excited (such as when we vaccuum). She also vomits within 24 hours of Frontline and Heartgard treatments.
Should I take her back to the vet and insist he investigate further?  |
so she is vomitting after frontline and heartguard? that is a sign she is reacting to it maybe ask about interceptor as heard that is easier on toy breeds - do you have a bad flea area? If so you may want to try

sounds to me like she has ibd and ibd dogs should be limited on what they eat. I would treat her with her dog food and go very basic. Also google inflammatory foods and make sure she is not eating any of those and keep real good notes as to when she is vomitting - another thing that can go along with it is stress colitis and when they get stressed it can make them vomit so vacuum incident.
sounds like this is happening in small intestines and not large as large is diarrhea and small is vomitting. The concern with small intestines is you want that under control as it can trigger pancreas more than a large intestinal issue. My ibd dog gets nothing but his kibble and i treat him with it he still gets just as excited
ibd usually does not show up on blood work but if bad enough it will mirror pancreatitis and amylase and lipase will be high as well as he cpli will be high all without having normal signs of pancreatitis. You do not want to deal with pancreatitis trust me it is not pretty so I would really stop all foods other than diet.
what are you feeding? also ibd dogs do better on grains or sweet potato NO WHITE POTATO THAT IS INFLAMMATORY.
when she vomits does she vomit up the food or just bile?
