Thanks for all the great feedback! I've been reading a lot of the posts here since Bear's diagnosis and I knew this would be a great source of info. Unfortunately, we just got back from KState Vet clinic again. They wanted to see Bear and it turns out he is already pretty dehydrated. They are going to keep him in ICU overnight to rehydrate him. They did a cbc panel and see good news there. His white blood cell count is really good. His red blood cell count is kinda low though, so they want to watch him close to make sure the fluids don't make that worse. They really aren't sure why he's vomiting yet, but they did start him on Carafate to coat his esophagus and stomach to help make what comes up less acidic. And another round of Cerenia. I am going to ask if they can send something home with us after the next round of chemo, so if this starts again, we can jump right on it. And yes, the chemo drug they are using is Carboplatin, which I understand is easier for the dogs to tolerate. So hopefully, it is just that in combo with the surgery and it'll get easier. Thanks again for all your help and good wishes. I'll post again to let everyone know how this turns out. I send good thoughts and prayers to all the other tripawd parents. We know the surgery was the right thing to do and look forward to getting past these first few weeks and having Bear feeling better.

Thanks for the reassurance about KState. We do like the care they've given Bear. But we had bad news this morning. He is still throwing up, although they are saying it's not vomiting, it's regurgitation. He did do real vomiting starting Monday, but once all stomach contents were gone that night, he started and has continued to just opening his mouth and brownish bile flies out. (sorry to be gross). We left him at KState yesterday about 4 and they started all the meds. As of mid-morning today, there has been no improvement and they said he is even more depressed that when we left. When we took him in, he was down to just lying out on the floor and not moving. He had to forcibly be made to stand and go with the dr. So they want to keep him a couple more days and there's talk of an endoscopy or florouscopy, I don't remember which and I probably didn't spell either one right. They are attributing the regurgitation to something with his esophagus. Although the chest xray they did showed that it was the right size, so it's not Megaesophagus. It also showed no sign of pneumonia, so that's good. Still they can't get him to stop and he is just getting weaker and more down. Does anyone have any experience/suggestions here or any ideas for other places I can do research or ask questions? I googled 'regurgitation in dogs' and got a lot of the same info in different places. But they all say Megaesophagus, which they pretty much ruled out, or suggestions for Cerenia and Carafate, both of which aren't doing anything so far. We are getting pretty down ourselves, just to see him so unhappy and not being able to do anything for him.
