It looks like Marshmellow has an extensive history, and in order for any veterinarian to help, they would need all of the diagnostics and medical history to form an opinion. Something is definitely wrong with her and if your current vet is not giving satisfying answers, then you should probably seek a second opinion. You may also consider bringing Marshmellow to a specialist. There are medicine and surgery specialists located in the Twin Cities at the University of Minnesota. This can all get rather expensive, so it's up to you how much you want to pursue this. I think it would be best to at-least have another vet give an opinion. Sometimes a fresh set of eyes can come up with new ideas. I hope that helps and Marshmellow feels better soon.
