My dog has bloody diarrhea and vomiting, no diagnosis. What now?

Question

My dog was vomiting for 3 days & not pooping. He started to poop 1 x day a tiny amount & he was then very nauseous, licking everything after he would eat for a week. By this time he had seen 3 vets. One thought it was aspiration pneumonia based on x-rays. The others didn't think it was. Blood work normal. 1 vet did an ultra sound & said its gastritis. He was given cerenia, helped a bit. He has been on bland diet. Now he has bloody mucus diarrhea 2 days consistently in the house. What now? :(.

If Auggie hasn't had a stool sample checked it would probably be helpful to rule out intestinal parasites. His symptoms could also be caused by inflammatory bowel disease or a food sensitivity. If you've seen three different vets and feel that you're not making progress with Auggie you could have your vet refer you to an internal medicine specialist.
