So the vet did a series of barium xrays all day yesterday. Preston's stomach emptied properly and quickly, so it's not what they were thinking. It's also not hiatal hernia ... Apparently the specialist looked for that before.
So this is good news and bad news. The good news is, we're holding off on surgery for now, and waiting to see if this is transient, and if we can keep him from vomiting for 4-6 weeks. I've lowered his level of exercise and excitement which seemed to bring stuff up.
The bad news is we still don't know what's wrong, and thus cannot fix it. The vets (two specialists and my own) have all agreed that we've kind of exhausted our supply of medications and testing - nothing new to try.
So all I can do is hope it mends itself, for now!
As a side note, the vet tech said she can see why I would be okay with spending so much money on Preston ... She said he's a total doll and sweetie! I think Preston has an admirer! ;)
