Is this food related?!

[Erin]

Our doodle is having digestive/tummy issues. 

First, we feed her Zignature Pork. She’s not or has never been overly thrilled with eating, but she just doesn’t runnn to eat up her kibble. If she’s hungry, she eats, if not, ehh. (Ugh I know!)

We recently had an issue with the possibility of a blanket being stuck in her tummy. There was a day where she didn’t hold down food or water, so I rushed her to the vet thinking it was the blanket she ate. Took x-rays and there was something in her stomach, so they immediately thought it was the blanket. Kept her overnight and hydrated her, the object in her tummy passed and wasn’t there after the second set of X-Rays. 

They gave us medication because they thought she had a stomach infection and her tummy lining was not well. 

The medication helped, but now she just randomly vomits her food up. Like minutes after she eats she doesn’t digest it. 

She eats grass and leaves in the backyard and that’s typically when she vomits.

im not sure if this is food related? Is the food too much for her sensitive stomach or what.

help!

How old is she? 
What was the medication she was given after the blanket incident? 

How long a period of time was it between eating the blanket and her passing the object in her stomach?

Can you clarify the vomiting issue? Does she only bring her food up after she eats grass & leaves? Does she ever bring up her food without eating grass & leaves? (And bringing up undigested food is regurgitating, which is different from vomiting, BTW). Or does she regurgitate after meals AND after eating leaves & grass? 
Even without knowing the answers to these questions, I can tell you this is NOT food related.

Hi,

She’s 2 years old.

Sucralfate Was the med that she was given, that didn’t seem to help so we went back and they gave her Metoclopramide plus an antacid. 

Well she vomited up the blanket on a Saturday (I thought that was all of it bc she was eating and drinking just fine) and then on Tuesday is when she vomited her food and water up and we went in to the vet the next morning.

i cannot clarify if it’s only when she eats leaves or grass that she regurgitates. It just so happens to be that she is outside playing, I catch her eating grass.. a few hours pass and she eats her dinner, 10 minutes later she throws up her food and grass is in with her food. 

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

When did she eat the blanket? The same day (Saturday) that she brought most of it up? Or was it the day before or several days before?
What I'm, trying to determine is how long there was a foreign object in her gut. It would have been from the time she ate the blanket until you went to the vet. 
Do you ever hear her stomach making really loud sounds? Maybe after she drinks water? 
Is she bringing up every meal? If not, how often does it happen? 

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Also, is she pooping regularly? Any decrease in stool volume, or changes in the stool consistency?

[Erin]

This blanket eating happened the week of February 10th thru 16th. She vomited the blanket up on Saturday, feb 16th. Was eating, urinating, pooping fine from the 16th until that Tuesday the 19th. 

Brought her in to the vet on the 20th, they had her hooked to IV fluids the night of the 20th and were going to do surgery to remove the ‘object’ from her stomach on the 21st. The object moved to her colon so they didn’t end up doing the surgery. The vet said it could have been an infection and her stomach was inflamed. Gave us the medicine and sent us on our way. 

Her tummy doesn’t gurgle, but she burps after eating or drinking.

stools are just fine. No issues. 

She brings up her food maybe once a week.

Well, this does sound like it could be the beginning of Inflammatory Bowel Disease. I hope not, because IBD is incurable and costs a ton to just diagnosis, let alone treat. 

A foreign object sitting in the gut for a few days can trigger an immune response. I hope that's not the case here, but two months is a long time for this to just be a little irritation. 
First thing is that as difficult as it may be, you MUST keep her from eating anything that is not food. If that means having to take her outside on a leash every single time she goes outside, that's what you have to do. She really cannot be allowed outside unsupervised. The alternative to this is to purchase an Outfox hood, and put that on her before she goes outside. It looks weird, but it's harmless and really works. 
Is it common for her to eat non-food items such as blankets? That's pretty common in puppies, but not in two year old dogs. You're going to need to do whatever it takes to prevent her from eating non-food items in the house, too. Gates, crates, keeping anything she might be prone to eating picked up or put away, etc. 

I'm going to make a couple of suggestions. Ask your vet to run a GI blood panel. This cannot be done in house, it will have to be sent out and takes about 5-7 days to get results. It also costs about $200. It measures cobalamin, folate, and something called a TLi ratio. The results may point to a possible inflammation and further testing, and this is the cheapest place to start.
Ask your vet about giving her a B12 shot. This is cheap and harmless. But...do not do it until after the blood is drawn for the GI panel. It will cause inaccurate results, as B12 is cobalamin. 

Ask your vet about giving her generic Zantac or Pepcid on a daily basis, at least until this is resolved.

And also ask about giving her Tylan. Tylan is also very harmless, but it usually needs to be compounded, and that can run into $$$$. Not every dog will respond to it, either.
I could tell you to schedule a consultation with an IMS; I checked, and you have a veterinary specialty clinic right near you with several internal medicine specialists practicing there. It may turn out that you need to see a specialist, but it may also be that all she needs is the antacid, the B12 and possibly the Tylan until whatever is going on with her gut heals or improves.
And step one would be the GI panel. If her cobalamin is low, that's a marker for IBD. The other values can idicate digestive disease as well. But to definitively diagnose IBD, you need to do a scope under anesthetic, and that's where the IMS and the big bucks comes in. So run the panel first.

I'm not expert, but maybe  you should get a second opinion? When Shooter eats stuff he's not supposed to that's non digestible he usually eats grass and throws up right afterwards along with the non digestible object (usually napkins). Sounds like maybe your pup has something still stuck in her tummy and needs to get checked out again

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

I think it's more likely that there is an inflammation caused by the blanket or whatever it was that was in there.

There's a lot of information here and it sounds like you may need more information, but also - does your pup do this regurgitating thing in the morning after breakfast or only after dinner? Our dog will eat grass sometimes even when he doesn't have an upset stomach (sometimes he's hungry or thirsty - or frankly I think he just enjoys pulling up tall grass because he's weird) and then throws up if he actually ingests it, so we have to monitor him to stop him from doing this...
