Our Magic had lots of problems from the time she was little until about 9 months of age. Our vet would put her on meds and it would help while she was on them and for some time after, but then it would start again. The vet suggested using yogurt (plain) with her dry food to help build up good bacteria in her tummy.....and that worked better for several months, but the vet said it was not good long term. So he switched Magic to Lamb and Rice food only ...we went with Nutro....and we added some wet Hills ID to each meal.....and also went to only Lamb and Rice treats. Absolutely no chicken or beef products. We slowly stopped adding the Hills ID and went to only dry food. We are on our 5th month of no tummy problems and she has even gained some weight.
Our vet kept telling us that normally he could find something that worked, but it often takes many tries. There was a time when we were at the vets probably every two/three weeks and were not sure it would ever stop.
Hang in there and keep working with your vet to find a solution!
