Gail I am so sorry to hear about your problems with your girl. I will throw some things out to you, take them for what they are worth.. Snail bait, you or your neighbors use it? Insecticide, neighbors spraying? Coccidia-can get it from anywhere, or bring it home from shows Giardia- outside chance , but hey, who knows. Dead amimals/birds...any she may have gotten? Change in diet? Can cause nausea, even pancreatitis Stressors , new dogs, new people. Partial torsion ruled out by vet?? Medications she may have gotten into, trash. A lot of meds, human, are highly toxic to dogs. Toxic plant? Chocolate? I am sure there are many things that it could be...just trying to think of some major ones... Let us know how she is doing, ok?
