You have done a good job taking it to the vet!
Your gonna have to call around(to other vets) and get someone the knows more about this kinda stuff. Hope everthing is okay with your dog!
What it sounds like it could be parvo. Parvo tests will not always come up positive in the beginning of the illness, it takes a few days for the virus to be shed in the stool. What was his white blood cell count? If he cant keep anything down but water, than he should be hospitalized for IV fluids and medications. Also consider doing a barium series to look for intestinal obstructions (not all will show up on xray) or seeking the help of an internal medicine doctor. If you know the results of the bloodwork I may be able to give you some

I am sooooo sorry to hear about your dog. If I were you I would take him to to a major vet hospital where they may have lots more experience and knowledge!!!! If you live in Ohio there is a great place called Metropolitan Animal Hospital that has every vet specialist available. I wish your dog well very soon and pray he'll be fine. A very magnificent and excellent breed!!!!!!!!!!

My guess would be Parvo virus, but I can't believe 2 vets would miss that. Get your dog to another vet because stomach problems can ver very serious. Good luck with him!

How old is he? Take him to a vet that specializes in gastro problems.
