  Poor Erik! What a frustrating problem. An infection could certainly be possible. Some other possible causes would include a foreign body causing a partial GI obstruction, gastric ulcers, a food allergy or intolerance to something in his diet, a systemic illness like liver or kidney disease, or even a tumor in the stomach.
  
  I'm not sure if any diagnostic testing has been done apart from x-rays, but some tests that may be helpful at this point would include general blood work (CBC/chemistry panel), abdominal ultrasound, endoscopy, or even exploratory surgery. I would suggest talking with your veterinarian about these options, to see what he/she recommends as the next step for Erik from here. You could also request referral to an internal medicine specialist for further work-up, if needed.

  I would caution about google searches for medical information on dogs, as the information you find is often incorrect. It's posted by lay persons, not veterinarians, and that means that person does not have the training in x-rays and animal treatment that veterinarians have. It certainly isn't normal that Pubbles is vomiting so much, and it could be possible that he has a linear foreign body or a foreign body that is hard to see on x-ray. You can certainly take your dog into another vet for a second opinion, but you can also talk to your vet about further tests such as an ultrasound or exploratory laparotomy.
