Now the question is - what can I do to help my baby to cure? I don't trust my vet any more. If I have to cook for her - I would do it. I just want to know what should I cook and how.
Somebody told me about raw eggs, that it can help, but I am not sure yet. |
Please don't be so hard on your doctor; he wasn't ripping you off with an X-ray, doctors are trained to treat the most serious or life threatening disease first, and vomiting can indicate an intestinal obstruction where time is the essence. A doctor's job is to rule our illnesses and they are a lot like a detective using tests to rule out things. The same set of symptoms can be produced by so many different things, and it's no easy task to find out the problem without any verbal input from the patient. I mean a dog can't say, my tummy hurts after eating xyz. Your vet has more information than he did before, but I've seen so many people go down the road of treating each symptom separately, and the illness, is never diagnosed. I urge you to stay with your vet, and tell him your concerns, when your vet wants to do more tests, ask about those tests, and make sure you understand why the vet wants to do the tests, if after discussing it with your vet, you still don't feel like you trust him, please find a vet you do trust, he will be one of the most important people in your life.
I also suggest that you keep a journal and chart your dog's symptoms. For example, the title of your thread says your dog has been vomiting for two months, but we should know, how often, everyday? How many times a day, what is the amount, and what are the circumstances, meaning what happened in the hours before. The more detailed information you can give your vet the better he's able to diagnose the problem. I mean Yorkietalk members can tell you if their dog has had similar problems and what helped their dogs, but we are not trained to diagnose a disease or illness. Your dog could be vomiting because it experiences low blood sugar at one point, and vomiting for a totally different reason at another time, so that’s why it's important to keep details.
