Hello, sorry to hear about Lucky. It’s very difficult to tell If she have a hole in her stomach. Options include doing an endoscopy or surgery. However, an abdominal X-ray could indicate if there is evidence of free gas in the abdominal cavity which would be most consistent with a perforarion. If lucky continues to do unwell, then she should be evaluated by her veterinarian again to make sure she does not have a perforartion. Hope this helps and best of luck
