I am so sorry to hear that Lady bug is still not well despite numerous tests and x-rays. Some pets have underlying disease that evades detection with preliminary tests like CBC/Chemistry/Electrolyte analysis and Radiographs; which is why we have more advanced imaging tests available such as MRI/CT scan and an gastroesophageal scope. You mentioned that the vet recommended scoping your poor baby to help determine the underlying cause. The scope is highly effective at detecting injury to the mucosal linining of the esophagus, stomach and intestines (when rectal scoping done). If that is what is recommended based on your complete history and lab findings through your vet, then I would say it is worth considering. Feel free to request a private consultation with either myself or another expert here if you wish to discuss Lady Bug's case in detail. I am sure there are lots more information that you can relay to us so that we both have a better understanding of what is all going on with her. Even normal lab findings can rule out certain disease processes, so it is best to review her entire case history when making any further recommendations on her care moving forward.
