Bella may have a blockage:( Update: 4/8/11 and 4/15/11
I have been dealing with Bella throwing up since last Wed. She has been on shots, food witheld, special food and is pooping some. I finally called the vet today and she will go in for a barium(?) test in the am. She is her usual happy self other than throwing up:(Does anyone have any experience with this???
4/15/11 Update #2: Bella does not have a blockage or pancreatitis! Bella is still throwing up but not too often.More tests which all came back normal and more meds:(
Poor Bella has been quite the mellow patient but I feel so bad for her. Bella now has her own pharmacy and I actually filled out a med sheet to keep track of all her tummy meds as she has some that tell her brain not to throw up, some to tell her tummy not to throw up,some to coat her tummy and and antibiotic as well as a wormer just in case she has any tummy worms.
Update:
4/8/11 Well Bella spent the day at vet (of coarse Jane had to be out of town due to work) . Originally they took an Xray, then did a barium one while DH waited over 90 mn. the vet called and was thinking they would have to do surgery but they were waiting for her food to go through. Took more tests and at that point neither of the 2 vets could not see any blockage and the barium was going through her system. I couldn't pick up Bella and so I called my girlfriend to go get her for me as I just couldn't leave her there:) Bella is on pepcid and zofran for her tummy plus the i/d prescription diet. We're keeping our fingers/paws crossed. PS...Bella was the perfect patient through all of this!!!!!!!!

I canceled the appointment for today. Before I took her food and water away last night she ate 3 very small meals of the special canned food and has kept them down. I will do the same for the next few days and see what happens. I even called TOTW and asked if they had changed their food at all and their vet (yes, I was impressed) called me back and nothing has changed. My vet is very frugal when it comes to treatment but I would not have hesitated today to ask for Dr. Phil....the Sr. vet. Our new vet is right out of vet school. Yea...she pooped this am:)
Thanks everyone....I will keep you updated!

Thanks everyone...it's been 24 hours and Bella hasn't thrown up. I decided not to take her in since she appeared better. I am just giving her the canned vet dog food and so far so good.
We appreciated all your thoughts, suggestions and well wishes!
