An ileus can partially block them. I mean, it may be IBD, but IBD can be secondary to something else that needs to be treated. If your vet doesn't want to go further, an internist may be able to help. |
When the blood panel was done 6 months ago, it showed everything in a normal range except for the lipase.
I may have to look for a vet who has more knowledge with stomach problems. I do love my vet. When he examines them you can tell he loves animals. He's even called me days later to check on how Pippin is doing. I've never had a vet do that before. I just don't think he is as familiar with these issues. I know he would run any test I ask him to, but I would feel better if he was the one making the suggestion of what we should do next. He told me yesterday that there are a lot of dogs that have sensitive stomachs, but I think vomiting blood is a little more than a sensitive stomach.
I know when I get home from work Pipin's going to be bouncing around and acting fine. It's late tonight that I dread.
