Default My Ringo is still sick

Poor Ringo; he has been sick with bloody diarrhea and vomiting for two weeks. He doesn't act sick; still runs around and plays; walks, etc but I've had him to the Vet twice.

Last Monday, they have him several cans of Purina EN (which I feel like is not helping); Flagyl; and something in a tube like Mylanta I had to squirt in his mouth daily.

So we did that for a week and and soon as I transitioned him back to regular food - by Saturday he had the diarrhea tinged with blood; and vomiting up grass.

SO, back we went THIS Monday (to the tune of $$$172.) and he got a shot to 'dry him up'; more Flagyl at a stronger dose and more Purina EN.

He no longer has the blood or vomiting; and he is still acting fine; but his stools are an orange, runny, mess.

Could it be the Purina EN??? I kept telling the Vet that the Iams Low Residue helped him this summer when he got into the chicken bones. He must not sell it because we came hom again with 7 more cans of the EN.

Should I be considering beef and rice at this point? (Chicken gives him diarrhea as well).

Thanks
