So...Here's the story!
I have a 10 1/2 month old English mastiff pup. Just about 100lbs. Since about 3 months of age she has been a chronic vomiter 🙁 About every 6-9days she would have a morning of vomiting, no appetite and feel crappy for a day. We've done multiple fecals, blood work, urinalysis, special intestinal food, limited ingredient food etc...I brought her to an internal medicine specialist where they tested for other things and so far everything has come back normal. Shes on 15mg of metaclopramide 3x daily, 10mg pepcid 2x, and 1/4 tsp Tylan poweder 2x (Had recently took her off of tylan but there was more vomiting when this occured). The vomiting is no longer a full day affair but she does vomit once or twice 2-4 days/week. Basically my only option to try to figure this out is an Endoscopy, upper and lower GI ($1700). Now if i knew that scoping her would definitely give me an answer then I would probably go for it but it may not give me an answer and then I will have wasted $1700 and I've already spend about that will all the vet bills up to this point.
Also, the strainge thing about the vomiting is that she vomits food 8-12hrs after eating so it's some sort of a hypomotility issue
What would you do?????😕
