Does it sound like this puppy has Parvo? Or an upset stomach? Or something else??! Please Read!?

This question asked by someone recently and is now in voting.....didn't know how else to make another suggestion for them/their vet to check out so hoping this works.. Don't know why didn't think of it sooner, but the pup unless already given a completely clean bill of health, should perhaps be checcked out for an 'enlarged eosophagas'. Can be a problem for pups from birth or can develop later on. Basically, there is sometimes a blockage in their eosophagas which stops food and liquid passing through to stomach so they vomitconstantly and end up starving. Or, they will develop like a 'bowl' in the eosophagus which traps food/liquid and results in same as above. Really truly hope the pup in question just had a tummy bug or whatever and is OK. Described problem unless gamble with several thousand dollars of surgery rarely have a good result. Though, treatment is available and doesn't have to be too expensive if caught early. An Xray will be necessary though. Been there. Done that. Keeping fingers, toes, legs and eyes crossed for your pup!!!! SORRY FOR BREAKING THE SITES RULES! PUP MORE IMPORTANT!

A barium swallow can be performed to rule out/diagnose megaeosphagus, esophageal strictures, GI foreign bodies, perforations, and sometimes ulcers. The dog is give barium which shows up better on an x-ray. It is x-rayed right away from administration and then x-rayed throughout the day at regular intervals to watch its progression through the GI tract. The x-rays stop once the barium reaches the anal opening. We have found that the barium helps some dogs feel better because it most likely traps some of the toxins in the GI tract which is causing the puppy problems. We joke quite often about doing a therapeutic barium series. The average cost for a barium series is between $200-400.
