My Yorkie has vomiting & bloody diarrhea, but vet tests are normal?

Question

I have a 4 lb 12 (nearly 13) year old yorkie. She has had this issue on & off for a long time(maybe even over a year). She has episodes of vomiting (mostly dry heaving & spit) and liquid diarrhea (also mostly clear/tinted brown fluid & red blood. I just took her to the emergency room vet when she had an all night long episode. They ran blood work and xrays and gave her iv fluids. (She does drink water often by the way- even after an episode) all came back normal. But she is still sick. :(. Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Female | spayed | 12 years and 10 months old | 4 lbs

Hello. I am so sorry that Bailey is so sick. The next step is to ultrasound her abdomen. This will show problems like thickened intestines that can not be seen on an x-ray. If something concerning is seen, sometimes a diagnosis can be made just by looking at the ultrasound, but sometimes a biopsy may be required. Hopefully, with some additional care with fluids, anti-nausea medication & antibiotics, she will be feeling better soon. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
