My pug is vomiting, lethargic, not eating, tests normal. What now?

Question

My nine-year-old pug has been to three different vets and we still don't have any answers. It's been almost a week since he started vomiting. He has ate very little during this time. He is lethargic, not at all like himself he's typically very energetic. he had X-rays done to check for obstruction, but there was nothing found his blood work was taken everything came back normal. He was sent home with pain medication. Vet thinks pancreatitis. Refuses to eat even with appetite stimulant. Pet's info: Dog | Pug | Male | neutered | 9 years and 5 months old | 14 lbs

I’m so sorry to hear that this is going on with Fisher. It sounds as if your veterinarian has covered all the usual things that can cause vomiting and anorexia. At this point it may be wise to seek a second opinion from an internal medicine specialist or seek out further diagnostics such as an ultrasound. If Fisher does have pancreatitis, it can be a very painful condition. It oftentimes takes several days of medication (for nausea and pain) and sometimes hospitalization with fluids and a feeding tube to get these patients eating again. I can understand this is frustrating for you and Fisher. I hope this helps get him well soon. Best of luck.
