But I'm just wondering how long I can expect the actual bug to last.
RIght, I should've included that I've covered all of those bases. We know he does not have Pyloric Stenosis (blockage) he was checked for this at a younger age because he has reflux and we wanted to rule that out. he has no fever, and Dr. has us giving him pedialyte to prevent dehydration. But I'm just wondering how long I can expect the actual bug to last.
Thanks though, I do appreciate the concern and good advice!

Why don't you ask your doctor?
You know doctors: "you just have to let it run its course..." and bugs like this seem to go around in either the 48 hour variety or a week long one, was just wondering which one is going around now.
Pyloric Stenosis has nothing to do with an intestional blockage, or should I say, you can have an intestional blockage without pyloric stenosis.
I'm very concerned for your child. How long has he/she been vomiting? I can't believe the doctor wouldn't admit this child for IV fluids.

I've never had a doctor tell me that in reference to a baby. :shrug:
My daughter had it for about 30 hours total. I still find it hard to believe a pediatrican would tell you to let a virus like this run it's course with a 12 week old. I hope we have different doctors, and I hope the baby gets better soon.
PS
If it was my kid, I'd ignore the doctor and still go straight to the ER.
I def. appreciate your concern (how old is your daughter BTW? Mine is 2, and has managed to dodge this virus so far...). We see our doctor quite alot unfortunately because my son has had several issues since birth, and so I am really confident in them. They are very thorough, and he has been hospitalized twice since birth for other reasons (one of which was for fluids when he had RSV, and was just precautionary as he didn't actually become dehydrated). I am sure that the lack of concern is because he has no fever and is wetting diapers regularly. If either of those things were different I'm sure he'd be seen. I'm okay with not taking him to the dr's and exposing him to everything else in the world that's going around, unless I absolutely have to. But I truly do appreciate your concern!!!
my grandson had a fever of 102 for 4 days...the doctors said " we don't know why ? " and sent him home......I was so upset they did not do more for him......He was drinking his bottles ( formula ) and wetting his daipers..but he would not eat any of his baby food....
He was fussy, and you could tell he did not feel well, but only had a fever nothing else, he was 7 months old. I was sooooo happy when the fever went away, and it has not come back, that was a month ago... we still don't know why it happened..
