............I assume they've run some basic bloodwork? I'm wondering about
IBD, which can produce both diarrhea and vomiting. Have they done any other
testing - ultrasound/endoscopy?
......head shaking - are the ears clean? No skin issues?
.....if this were my dog I think I'd have a complete blood work up done,
perhaps even a 6 panel thyroid, and get the dog off grains just to see if it
did any good. People say GSDs have sensitive stomachs, but what they seem
to stomach the least are grains. Perhaps even add a digestive enzyme.
