Molly just climbed on top of me as I was dozing on the couch and SHOT puke a good 2 feet all over me... the couch... my face... the cushions. I had to strip and shower, it soaked through everything (PS - raw has to be the WORST smelling puke).
She had maybe 3-4 acute episodes of vomiting and diarrhea over the last year or so (lasted a few days, cleared up with anti-nausea shot and metronidazole every time). The vet was telling me in September that he thought it was IBD and we should do tests, ultrasound, etc. I thought that time that it was just a bug, since Leo got the same symptoms 48 hours after her. Seemed odd that they would both have an IBD attack the same week (especially since Leo never has any puking problems).
She had bloodwork in September when they were both really sick, and it came back fine (just dehydration from being sick).
Now she has kind of started puking randomly - will have a few episodes in 3 days, or just once in a week... then goes a few weeks fine. She has good energy and appetite when this happens. I am starting to think that he may be right, and we need to look at getting tests done. I had previously just thought that she just had a sensitive stomach and was prone to an upset tummy more easily.
Since another member @Leeny had posted about theirs being possible IBD that can develop into Lymphoma it has me more worried. I read this article that was linked and it has me concerned that I shouldn't just write her off as a "sensitive stomach"
