Hi have you tried cooking her meals low fat meals, lean white meat like chicken breast or turkey breast is best… I look at the ingredients in the prescription food & take a few of the ingredients & buy then cook, with the chicken breast remove any fat & cut into small pieces add water & bring to the boil as soon as it starts to boil remove from stove so the chicken is soft & not over cooked like hard leather pieces, there will be white froth on top, I empty all water & boil the jug & add boiling water to the chicken pieces to wash away any fat, I cool then I put thru a blender & freeze little 1/2 cup meals, the blended chicken pieces easier to digest… With the Hills I/d wet it has rice, so boil some rice or sweet potatoes & mix with the blended chicken or Turkey breast, are you feeding the Hills I/d Low Fat restore GI wet tin food this has only 8.5% fat or the I/d Gastro wet tin food has about 14.3% fat, the fat may be too high if she’s eating the I/d Gastro….. also egg, scrabble a egg, no milk just cook beaten egg in a non stick pan or cook in micro wave, some people scramble the egg whites as the yoke has the fat, also feed 4 smaller meals thru the day, Sounds like your vet has prescribed Carafate to line the stomach, if it is Carafate make sure the stomach is empty as the Carafate lines whatever is in the stomach… The vet should of put her on an ant acid med like Ranitidine (Zantac) or Famotidine (Pepcid) to stop the stomach acid burning her ulcer ask vet why he hasn’t prescribe some Zantac or Pepcid this will help more then the Carafate….
My boy was prescribed Carafate to be taken 1 hour before breakfast 6am & the Zantac to be taken 30mins before breakfast 6.30am, then 7am he ate meal, I was to give the Carafate & Zantac every 12 hours…. so he was eating 7am 12pm 5pm & 7pm, his meal 7am & 7pm was a bit bigger when he took meds….
I would be having an Endoscope done & Biopsies to see what’s wrong.. make sure she’s eating a low fat diet, high fat makes more stomach acid, then she’ll have her pain, vomiting etc no Jerky or fish skins nothing that is hard to digest, make some pumkin & oatmeal cookies there’s a heap of dog cookies recipes on line, less ingredients is best….
