Hello, sorry to hear about Miley. Vomiting and diarrhea can be caused by abnormalities within the GI tract (infections, dietary indiscretions, foreign bodies, inflammatory diseases) and abnormalities outside of the GI tract (liver disease, kidney diseases, pancreatitis, and addisons disease). If Miley has not done well even on a bland diet, it is likely time to re-evaluate her and rule out potential causes for her vomiting and diarrhea. This may include taking x-rays to look for any foreign material or an obstruction, and obtaining blood work to check for any liver, kidney, pancreatitis, or addison's disease. Besides the bland diet, Miley may require additional medications such as anti-nausea, deworming, or anti-diarrhea medication. You should additionally bring a stool sample to you veterinarian to check for any parasites. Please have Miley evaluated soon for her vomiting and diarrhea, as this can cause severe dehydration and electrolyte abnormalities. Best of luck and hope this helps.
