History: I have a male bichon frise that has had gastric problems most of his adult life. He takes Metoclopram and Tylan 30 minutes before eating. He had the problem of throwing up some sort of yellow frothy stuff. It took a long time to get him regulated and now that he is regulated it will be for the rest of his life that he has to take this medicine. I always had trouble with this dog eating his Iams. I think he had a slight allergy to it. I have recently changed to the Senior Nutro dry food. It has Glucosamine and Chrondroitin in it. It appears to have helped his appetite. He actually eats it and likes it. My question: Will he really have to take that medicine the rest of his life? I was hoping that since I have had such good luck with this food that maybe he can do without his medicine now?
Thank You
Recommend see a veterinary neurologist for options.

I applaud you for wanting to get him off drugs that only weaken his immune system and mask his symptoms. You may want to consider New Zealand 100% Colostrum . I have had great success with this.
