Here are past posts on 4 year old Miles to see more about his particulars (most recent first then working backwards):

http://fhl.sonic-weasel.org/browse.php?msg=SG6330
including but not limited to:

>Our vet called back stating that Miles had a thick small intestine and fluid in >his abdomen that contained material. No visible signs of a blockage or ulcer >as of yet.
(after ultrasound and barium x-ray 10/15)

http://fhl.sonic-weasel.org/browse.php?msg=SG6310
(presentation and general results from blood tests; not numbers 10/14)

http://fhl.sonic-weasel.org/browse.php?msg=SG6238
(problems with an ulcer, diarrhea, and weight loss 10/8)

Question: the vet at one time had suggested Aleutians might be involved. Was that ever tested for as well?

Question: was the 3 year old Miles who was battling diarrhea and ulcer last year in post
http://fhl.sonic-weasel.org/browse.php?msg=SG2555
the same Miles? (New addy and post unsigned so no way to know if same individual.)

Question: was Miles ever tried on steroids or steroids in combination with antibiotics, and was Carafate ever tried?
