My dog, Lillie, has had IBS for 3 years and is currently on metronidazole. She has started vomiting infrequently and regurgitating often each day. She has been prescribed omeprazole for 30 days with little success. She has esophagitis and an ulcer, and a barium swallow showed these issues. Blood studies are normal. The vet wants to do open abdomen biopsies, but we are reluctant. What can we do to help Lillie without resorting to surgery?
