I don't know what it is and the vet is frustrating. I am supposed to be switching vets but I haven't had time yet. So, I had hubby take him to the "old" vet.

Here's his symptoms:

He has thrown up at least once a day every day, except one, for 10 days. Sometimes it is kibble and sometimes (majority of the time) it is water and/or bile acid with a touch of mucousy texture in it. On 3 of the days, he threw up 2 times.

He's been very itchy since we moved into our house last year and has a lot more outside time now. He licks and licks and licks. He caused a hot spot back in May.

I noticed a blotchy, red, scaley rash on his belly Monday. It seems like it's faded today.

He runs and plays normal. He poops and pees normal. The only change I think I see is his appetite....more WHEN he eats. I free feed and his morning bowl is still full when I get home at 7pm on most days.

Hubby said the vet did a fecal test for parasites (which I knew he didn't have so that was silly). So, without a diagnosis of vomiting for 10 days straight, she gave him antibiotics and nausea meds to take. I hate giving antibiotics when I don't know if it is a bacterial infection. That is pointless.

Any ideas on what is going on with Shelby? Should I go back in the morning, myself and insist they run a blood test? She said give the meds til Monday and if he's still not better, come back.
