Hi all as promised here is my update after seeing the internal medicine specialist at the vets. She asked many questions and I explained everything with my detailed notes on times and what happened. The vet could not say exactly what was wrong as she was seeing a perfectly healthy dog in front of her, she was open to trying a treatment of the triple therapy of metronidazole , amoxicillin and omeprazole for 3 weeks , rather than do the endoscopy as that would be very expensive(1500-2000) as compared to 50.00 for the medicines.

She has not ruled out some behavior issues (separation anxiety, or over excitably) causing everything , but wanted to try the medicines first. I am to call her in three weeks to discuss how things have gone , earlier if any problems.

I asked about his food and she did not think I needed to switch to a grain free food as she did not think this was caused by that.

Of course Ace my dog was happy with all the attention but I could see this was stressing him too…. And he was not eager to eat when we got home even though it was pass his normal dinner time . Hopefully he will be hungry tomorrow .
