i am here with my two small dogs, one has always little and sometimes real big problems with her stomach.
a great help was a mobil vet i contacted way before moving here, his name is federico curra gagliano 15-5887-8961. he comes right to your home and its just a little bit more expensive. but he has all with him and he speaks perfectly english, has a great knowledge of all doggy sicknesses and i can only go on... he lives in palermo and can be as fast as 10 min , he came at night and early mornings, stayed a full morning with me and my very very sick dog, just to make sure all is going well!
good luck... lela
