Hello. I am sorry for your concerns about Andy. It sounds like she has a pretty serious stomach upset, either from an allergy, infection/inflammation, or ingestion of foreign material. I do not think the Zymopet is going to properly address this. I would definitely visit with your veterinarian about this, as this can be quite serious. In the meantime, you can try her on some Pepcid ( famotidine ) giving 5 mg per 10 pounds body weight once a day. I think I answered a question earlier for you about your dog's skin, so I think she may have some pretty serious sensitivities that need professional care. Thank you.
