Hi, all. I started this thread because my other dog, Mya, is having some issues and I and the vet are at a loss as to what is happening. She is not diabetic. She has started a pattern of vomiting quite often, especially when it storms, or there is drama or when my husband is out of town. Sometimes, it just happens for no apparent reason but usually it coincides with drama. She doesn't eat her food fast at all. Normally, she is a very slow eater.
On Wednesday night, it was stormy, and she was very sick and she refused food, and was still shaky on Thursday morning. I took her to the vet thinking maybe it was pancreatitis. He did very complete blood work on her and it was perfect - no pancreatitis or any indicator of anything else. He said it was some of the best schnauzer blood results with the breed's propensity for high lipids, cholesterol, etc. He mentioned that it could be IBS of some kind. Without endoscopic testing, it would be hard to diagnose. He thought we should treat symptoms as they come along for now and if it begins to look like a more regular occurrence, then do that type of testing. He seemed to think if it was anxiety related, then she would more likely have diarrhea (which she doesn't) than vomiting. But he said with the correlation of thunderstorms and Jeff traveling, that could be it.
We agreed that I would start keeping track of the episodes and what was going on, timing, etc. Does anyone have any ideas on this? I hate to see her so sick. She is a very neurotic dog.
