Answer
Tabatha -

Talk over your concerns with your veterinarian.  It sounds as if your vet has done all the necessary testing to treat your dog.  I cannot help with the diagnosis because I have not examined your pet.  


Puppies often eat things that are not good for them and can cause stomach upset.  Treating the symptoms is the proper treatment even if there is no diagnosis on the horizon.
