Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Piper! I would try a prescription hydrolyzed diet or novel protein diet. She likely has a food allergy. I would ask your Vet to prescribe Royal Canin HP to try for 2-3 months. Be sure she has been dewormed and has had fecal tests. It isn't wrong to do general blood work as well. More advanced steps would be an ultrasound and B12/folate/TLI and PLI testing for intestinal and pancreatic conditions. I wish you the best!
