| Abby had her x-rays and the Vet said she didn't see any food in her esophsgus and it appeared normal. Doesn't mean she doesn't have it and the way to be more definite is to scope her. The Vet feels as though it might be that the stomach sphincter may not be tightening properly thus allowing food to back up into her esophsgus which then causes her to regurgitate. She started her on Reglan daily. We'll try that for a couple of weeks then if she doesn't regurgitate within that time, she'll add another couple weeks of the med and go from there. Hoping this does the trick but there really is no rhyme or reason as to when Abby does this. It's never right after she eats. She could go weeks without having any problems. If she really needs to be scoped, I'll have it done. For now, we'll see how or if this medication helps.

I went to the vet for Pax and the vet recommended the same treatment. We didn't proceed because Pax was battling another GI issue (see the parasite thread). Well coincidentally, he stopped having issues when I started feeding a blander diet. I thought maybe it was due to him having the small intestinal issues at first. When I started transitioning back to his normal food a few days ago, the regurgitating/vomit (4-5 hours after eating) came back. I'm still experimenting but I'm feeding a blander diet again, and he's not spitting up. Wanted to share my experience. | |

When she regurgitates, it's her food, don't notice any bile. She doesn't eat a lot all at once. She kind of "grazes" Eats a little, comes back later, eats a little more. That's how she eats She doesn't always regurgitate after eating. For instance, she hasn't regurgitated since last Friday.

| Has your vet done bile acid testing? Teddy Bear had similar symptoms prior to his liver shunt being diagnosed. Sometimes these pups can have a liver shunt without any abnormalities in basic blood work. I had Teddy for 7 years and had blood work done every year prior to his dental. When he was found to have a liver shunt I was stunned...as was my vet. Just a thought...and the test is relatively inexpensive.
