Donating YT 1000 Club Member | No real answers yet but we did see UF for the consult. We still don't know what's causing the bile vomiting episodes. Right now they're treating her with Cerena & pepcid to control that. They did xrays, ammonia & redo of her bloodwork. The xray showed no obstructions (which could've been a possibility...heard a story of a patient they had that'd eaten a cork!; it bobbed around inside causing all kinds of troubles). Her bloodwork doesn't show any issues. They don't feel she has LS but will rerun the BAT after we've gotten her more steady. We did find out both her knees have luxating patellas. I fed her a bit of rice this morning after her meds so I'm hoping she keeps it down. Poor thing has either thrown up or had diarrhea for five days now(dehydration is a concern so we're watching for signs of that). Thanks for your concerns & well wishes; we appreciate them.

| Glad to hear Bella only has a minor digestive upset and a couple of bad knees. I bet the BB and treats are the culprit. Hope all goes well from here on out.

| Sherry I am just reading this for the first time and my heart goes out to you and poor Bella. I am glad you had the consult and it's good to hear they do not think it is LS. I will be thinking and praying for a good outcome for Bella.

| I have been feeding BB the one with the rice and fish, Lola will be two in Dec. do you think that could cause her problems, so far they keep telling me her bloodwork is normal. But like with Sherry it seems like these problems come out of the blue which has me just waiting for the shoe to drop.

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | I doubt UF would have had me return Bella to Blue Buffalo if they thought there was a problem with it in any way. Again, so far their diagnosis did not rule out LS. They're treating her "conservatively" at this point since the BAT results done by my previous vet were mild. Right now they're treating her for the vomiting/diarrhea. Once that's under control we'll be able to move forward in her treatment. The Cerernia is an antiemetic used in this case to stop her vomiting. The pepcid is used to reduce gastrointestinal acid production.

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | I guess at this point I'd have to say this was a huge false alarm (thankfully!!). Her bloodwork all came back within normal ranges, her urinalysis was good & no parasites were found either. I don't think UF would have allowed Bella to return to Blue Buffalo if they thought this was liver shunt (BB is 18% min Protein & 8% min Fat; normally LS pups get very little protein from non meat sources. Bella had her last dose of Cerena yesterday. I'm really hoping she's just had some bug & can continue to not vomit the bile. I've made changes to the way I feed her by splitting her 1/2 cup a day into 3 meals instead of two & ordered a new bowl for her that will help her slow down when she eats. We will continue to give her the pepcid unless we're told to stop it. I want to thank each of you for your concern; it really meant a lot.
