Once again, I'm so very frustrated!! My cavalier, Sasha, who is 8 years, has been having continuel spitting up issues. She has throat problems in general, so all foods have to cut in small bites for her. I have put her on half tab Pepcid AC as well as probiotics for her digestive system. I have not changed her diet in some time (two small meals of Natural Balance w/a dollop of pumpkin).
I took her to a different vet today. They did a chest x-ray to make sure she didn't have any heart/edema problems, as the cardiologist detected a slight murmur last month. The film looked clear. Her throwing up episodes have definitely increased and are very frustrating not only to me & my daughter (cleaning up constantly) but I also know Sasha is losing weight and she always seems hungry (loss of nutrients?). This vet could only suggest a regime of antibiotics in case she does have an infection or tonsil enlargement. She does need a dental done, but I wanted to wait until we had this problem under control.
I'm still so frustrated. I feel like another few hundred dollars down the drain with no answers! I am thinking that possibly the scar tissue in her throat (her surgery was 5 years ago) is causing her problems and needs attention, but is this why she is always throwing up so much?
Thanx for any suggestions.
