We have two Poms. The Dad is about 5 years old. Dad weighs about 12-13 pounds. His Daughter is about 4. Both are shelter dogs adopted from two different shelters a year apart.
The Dad is having a health issue. Soon after he goes to sleep he starts to gag and then throws up. Most of the time it is just mucus or bial. Sometimes it is un-digested food from dinner. Sometimes he throws up more than once during the night. He is being fed Science I/D about 5 pm. He is fed several small amounts over about 30 minutes. Once in a while in the evening while he is sleeping on the couch he will throw up too. He may go a day with no problems once in a while. Other than this he is normal in every way.
Our vet feels it is IBD. I am not so sure. I thought IBD was more about pooping trouble than throwing up?
Our vet has tried:
Pepcid
Pepto
Mmetronidazole 250mg
Sucralfate
Metaclopramide 10mg
Famotodine 20mg
predisone 5mg
Tylan Powder
We also tested for a vitamin deficiency and worms. Both are ok.
None of the above has made a difference. Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks! Alan
