No, we have not.
How long did you stick with the food trials?And when on one did you ever break it and give treats etc? Sometimes something so small can mess up the whole trial.
We stick with the food trials for as long as my dog isn’t sick.
We do give treats, but when going through the ingredient elimination, we try to keep them consistent.
What is the recurring health issue?
She will start obsessively licking and air gulping. Which causes her to swallow air and then her stomach hurts, which then creates this endless cycle. Sometimes she will throw up with no signs of eating something abnormal. When she feels sick, she will eat anything and everything in the house to make herself throw up (the wall, the floor, the baseboard, blankets). Except this doesn’t always result in her throwing up so now she has to pass it if we don’t catch it in time to make her vomit. She won’t sleep for at least 24 hours because she is so uncomfortable. Sometimes, when she does throw up, it all stops. Sometimes I can hear her stomach making noises, or she is overly gassy. The symptoms are not always the same but have some random similarities.
And the reoccurrence pattern is not always the same. It may happen twice a year or once every other month. Sometimes more than once a month. There is no obvious pattern to it.
We managed to take her to the vet’s office while this was happening and have taken many videos. Tried all kinds of probiotics, supplements, all kinds of expensive & high quality food. We get completely different ideas from the vets; a seizure, a neurological problem, her teeth were hurting, & acid reflux were some that I can remember right now.
