MemberHi Susan, thanks for the reply. Iām sorry to hear about patch, and I hope all is well with both of you! My girl is a border collie pit/lab mix. She is my everything. and is around 50 lbs. to break it down a little more, it started around the time I switched her food for the first time, I switched her to originally Simply Norish, but after finishing about 1/3 of the bag and her not eating her food, I discovered there were bugs in her food! I was horrified. They were little flying bugs so I immediately had to switch her food. I switched her to crave and stuck with that for about 2 months, but thatās when the throwing up started happening more often, only in the morning or at night. It went from happening about once a month to happening about once a week and these past couple of weeks she has thrown up bile multiple times a week. Only yesterday was the first time anything serious happened but she wouldnāt eat all day which is a first, not even treats or rice and chicken when I first put it down but later that night she gobbled everything down that she could. Also while she was laying down she let out one random yelp of pain and I have no idea why. Iāve been feeling her stomach and it doesnāt seem to bother her, especially today. She loves eating the rice and chicken but sheās been avoiding drinking water. Idk why but it got to the point where I had to force her to drink by putting water in a baby syringe and let her drink it from there. But she went out and excersized like normal today, she has lots of energy so she was running for quite some time. she doesnāt eat grass when sheās outside or anything. Iāve noticed that her mouth sounds very loud lately. I canāt tell if itās dry mouth or extra salivation but itās loud, and she often smacks her lips. Iām gonna try cutting all treats out for s little while as well but that hasnāt helped yet. She seems to be doing well on the bland diet but itās only been one day so I canāt tell
As for the endoscopy, I donāt think Iāll ever be able to afford one of those. I read online they were very expensive. It would be my dream to have one of those done just to know my baby is okay, but right now my options are very limited. I donāt know anyone who can loan me money and my family is pretty lower income so they wouldnāt be much help either.
I wish I had the resources or people to start a donation page but I donāt š I live in the city, so there are plenty of vets near me but I havenāt found a single one that does payment plans. It breaks my heart. Me and my mom applied for care credit but both got denied.
I scrapped every penny I have together and am going to take her to the vet again on Tuesday but it seems Iāll probably only have enough for blood work.
I certainly am going to switch her to natural balance Lid, not sure which formula yet but certainly the lowest fat and protein
formula. Iāve given her fresh pet before and she loves it, I will certainly add it to her diet now that I know how good it is. But cooking fresh food every day would be quite the challenge as I am in school and my mother baby sits most of the day.I am praying to god it is something easily fixable that can be treated at home, if not I donāt know what to do. Iāll have to ask every vet around about payment plans. This is a very stressful
situation, I canāt find much help online for assistance with the bill and most of the places around here that I call are jerks and donāt offer help to anyone who asks. Iāve never worried about it this much in the past because she always acts so normal after but yesterday got me very scared, it seemed Pepto Bismol and Pepcid did make her situation worse and I wonāt be trying them again.What were your exact recommendations again? Iād like to have a full plan to discuss with my vet when I go. What medications? I am already feeding her 3-5 times a day depending on her activity level etc.
her breed is very enertic but some days I cannot afford to take her to the dog park where she can truly let off all her steam, she is an emotional support animal, so I take her a lot of places. Thank you Susan, youāre so kindJanuary 27, 2018 at 7:05 pm in reply to: "American Journey" Dog Food who manufacturer's it? #109985 Report Abuse Edit Post VisibilityChristian C
MemberHello and thank you both for replying. @cockailermom in the past couple months Iāve changed her food a couple of times thinking it would help, and i did it correctly slowly Introducing it to her but after she got very sick yesterday I put her on a bland food diet of chicken and rice and today she did not throw up, her coat already feels softer and sheās been way less gassy. She used to burp a lot through the day but not today. Also usually she drinks her water right up but today sheās not drinking much of it, Iāve had to beg her to drink. I was deffenetly going to switch her to NB sweet potato and fish in case she had a meat allergy, but yesterday really scared me
@anon101 Iām going to take her in for another checkup, and see what a different vet tell me but I canāt really afford much else than that right now. Iāve called all vets near me and I couldnāt find a single one who does payment plans. Itās kind of sad how hard and expensive it is to take care of our pets. And I am only 20 and Iāve never had anything under my name so no credit = no credit card :/
Thank you both for the advice. I look forward to hearing more from you.
Ps does anyone know anything about probiotics? Should I try my dog on one of those while I switch her to LID food?

MemberThe vets around my area are very lazy, I took her there twice this month and they wonāt do any tests they told me to feed her before bed and give her Pepcid. I tried tried the Pepcid yesterday but it just made her lose her appetite and her stomach started making very loud gurgling noises. She is one year old. She has no history of any other medical problems, but it started off with her throwing up bile in the morning every month or so and now has progressed to a couple times this month. Maybe 5 or 6. Iām saving money for the vet again now as money is tight because I just took her to the vet twice in two weeks and these visits are not cheap for a college student and the tests are going to be very expensive.
Iām not so much asking for a diagnosis, Iām just looking for some advice until I get get the money to take her to the vet again, for some peace of mind.

MemberHahah, maybe it is! Iām so happy you replied to me so quickly, thank you! I was wondering if you could offer me some advice. I think my puppy has acid reflux. She is one year but has been throwing up in the mornings for a couple months. Just recently had the throwing up escelated to a couple times a week. She shows no other signs of being sick, besdies yesterday when she threw up and she seemed to be really weak and like she was choking on something. Sheās currently on Merrick grain free but I think maybe I switched her to adult food too early. Iāve taken her to a clinic twice but they always say just switch her food and donāt run any tests. Should I be more worried? Or less? Any advice you can offer me on how to help my dog would be so appreciated š

MemberHi Susan. I was wondering if you were still active on this site and are seeing my message? Anyway Iāve been doing a lot of research on here and see that you seem to be quite expirenced in dealing with acid reflux in dogs. My dog is suffering terribly from what i believe is this and it makes me so nervous. I was wondering if you could answer a few questions of mine or offer some advice? Thank you Susan I hope to hear back from you.
