ok u guys; linda and deb please stop arguing. you both are smart and helpful and it's ok if u have different opinions. that's waht makes people unique.
i do agree that those tests should have been done the first time around when she vomitted blood; but of course instead the EC did the bile acid test, ultrasound, kept her for 3 days; so taht was 3000 right there; an endoscopy at that time wasnt necessary they said since they didnt see anything in ultrasound; but u can't see ibd in ultrasound; we live and we learn; i sure did and paid the price for it; over and over again.

i am upset about this vet's high bill; but i am glad that ava doesnt have any issues with her stomach; which was ruled out during endoscopy. vomiting blood is what drove me to accept all these tests. also i agreed to the allergy test because i want to make sure what she can eat what she can't ; i dont know much about this test and i didnt had time to research it.
anyway the biggest concern now is the food; she's not liking this low residue food much.
he mentioned yesterday we can try purina ha; or purina EN
anyone have any info on purina EN
by the way her ears look better today; i think because she was under the blow dryer there for a while.
lets hope she doesnt catch in infection.
