Hi everyone,
This was my original post on Finley bloating.

Well my poor baby bloated AGAIN – 1 week later. He’s back in the hospital and it doesn’t look good. He’s only 8 months old and it’s breaking my heart. He bloated again yesterday morning, we rushed him to the vet where they take x-rays to confirm that’s what it is. The give other meds to try and help his digestion. They say it looks like a motility problem and that his intestines aren’t working properly. He’s all bones b/c he hasn’t kept anything down for a while, he just throws it up. So we take him back home with the meds. All night it was like watching him suffer, constantly dry-heaving, belching. We couldn’t bear it anymore so we take him back and that’s where he is right now. Since it’s Sunday there’s no specialist there for this so we have to wait until tomorrow. Every time something happens its after hours so we have to go to emergency - We’ve spent almost $5000 on all this and it’s so hard to say enough is enough but that’s what we might be facing. This is so hard! I really want them to do tests to find out anything they can, but my husband is being a little more reasonable I guess - how much can we put him through?
Thanks for listening and if anyone out there has experienced a similar problem, I would love to hear about it…
