It is difficult for me to recommend medication for these types of issues as they can be caused by such a wide variety of possibilities. In terms of Yogi's behavior, the veterinarian should not be turning you away. They should instead be looking for other alternatives that would come Yogi down. He can be provided with a sedative prior to arrival or give an injection at the hospital in order to allow for a safe and effective examination. If he is only bad at the hospital and you think he would be OK with the veterinarian at your home, there are probably some vets that perform house calls. Unfortunately, you are unlikely to a find a vet to prescribe drugs for the conditions you are describing without at least performing a cursory examination due to the legal culpability of prescribing an inappropriate course of therapy. In all likelihood, if Yogi is refusing food and water plus vomiting, he may be pretty significantly dehydrated and require some immediate attention. I would find a vet that is willing to work with you and him looked at even if it is not the one you normally see. Hope you and Yogi can figure things out! Happy to offer you a more in depth consultation if you'd like regarding both his health issues as well as his behavior issues. Just let me know how I can assist.
