It definatly isn't parvo -- not only is it extremely rare here, but Bella has been vaccianted for it. Parvo vomit also has a very distinct smell that only parvo puke has -- this does not smell anything like it. The vet would have picked up on that right away.
I don't think it's the dog food either. She's been eating the kibble for about a month now, while still eating RAW. It's EVO, so it doesn't have any grains and is high protien, low-carb, therefore mimicking a RAW diet. Bella was fine on it before, I don't see why it would do this all of a sudden.
I agree that the vet should do some bloodwork and fecal tests. She only did X-rays before because my friend couldn't afford to pay for the rest of the tests. That's why she could only come up with that one diagnosis, and the vet still thinks that is what it is. It makes sense since the RAW and pigs ear were fed close together, and from what I hear, pigs ears can be hard to digest. I don't think my friend will go to a different vet though. This is the only holistic vet in town, and she's the best. Every other vet in town will just blame it on the raw food and try and pawn off some Science Diet on her.
Thanks for the advice, I'll give an update when I hear how Bella is doing this morning.
