Pancreatitis diarrhea
Common Questions and Answers about Pancreatitis diarrhea
pancreatitis
m having lots of pain, vomiting, nausea and diarrhea but lately my lipase and amylase levels have been low. The doctor said my pancreas is sluggish and work like it should and this is why my blood levels are normal. Can anyone tell me if exocrine pancreatic insufficiency affects lipase and amylase levels during a pancreatitis flare up? Also has anyone ever had normal blood levels with pancreatitis?
Did the vet perform a CPLI test to see if your dog had pancreatitis? The causes of vomiting and diarrhea can be many things, such ingestion of a foreign body, ingestion of something toxic, pancreatitis, gastroenteritis, parasites, organic causes and more.
During a recent trip to Mexico, I came down with 'travelers diarrhea' - fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomitting, dehydration. Upon arriving back in the states, I was readmitted to the hospital due to elevated amylase and lipase. I didn't have the severe pancreatitis pain until later that night and then only one other bout two nights later. A CT scan, ERCP, and internal ultrasound were all normal and I was discharged after 5 days.
Pancreatitis is one of the more difficult diseases to treat. It is also extremely painful. If she isn't able to hold down water, I honestly think she needs to go back in hospital. The way pancreatitis is treated is by allowing that organ to rest through literal starvation. Same treatment holds for human patients too. The dog is given IV hydration and nutrition, nausea and pain control, and then you wait it out.
Is she eating anything at all?
I am only 19 years old. I had my gall bladder taken out at 18. And had pancreatitis multiple times only to find out the two ducts in my pancreas aren't connectes. I had an ercp to enlarge my bile dict because my food wasn't digesting and had gotten pancreatitis after that as well. I can't remember the last time I have had a normal bowel movement. I have gone to the restroom 6 times this morning in three hours with loose stool.
I had my gallbladder removed almost 4 years ago. I was a freshman in college at the time, & I had been diagnosed with biliary dyskinesia. Basically my gallbladder wasn’t functioning properly. For almost a year after my surgery, I had nothing but problems. I lost a lot of weight, was having awful diarrhea & vomiting all the time. It seemed to get better. But now I’m having the same problems again.
Yes it's always best to see your veterinarian whenever your pet has a health issue!!
Because your dog has diarrhea in addition to vomiting you want to try to avoid further complications like dehydration and pancreatitis.
You might also check the FDA pet food recall list.
Hi, my daughter brought home a 6yr old cat 8months ago w/ stomach and intestinal issues. She suffers with gas/diarrhea/ throwing up. My daughter has taken this cat 3 times to the vet-nothing! I have tried many kinds of grain free and sensitive stomachs foods. Some of which were very expensive. We have 2 other cats with no issues. I can't keep changing foods all the time. Help! I am tired of cleaning up after her. Is there a cat antacid?
I am a 25 year old female. I was in the hospital about 2 months ago with pancreatitis. I have changed my diet. My bowel movements were really weird for a while after I got out. It was diarrhea one day and constipation the next. It finally became my average to about twice a day. But, for the past couple of days it has been like 7-8 times a day if not more. My stomach does also cramp up quite a bit since this has been going on.
Can somebody please tell me if I should go back to the Dr.
Abt 2 months ago cardio doc increased diltiazem to 240mg ER from 120 mg,(for irregular heartbeat) added xarelto 15mg as I had an episode of heart arrythmmia and palpitations. I am also on pravastatin 20 mg. I find diltiazem/xarelto interaction in only one place. Abt 10 days ago, started having diarrhea or several loose bm's per day. If this continues should I call the cardio doc re this problem or go see gastro doc?. I have had pancreatitis in past so have a gastro doc.
My family doc thinks I have GERDS, while my Gastro believes I may have chronic pancreatitis. Here are my symptoms:
Nearly constant central, upper abdominal pain since August 6, 2010.
Pain is gnawing, burning, like heartburn or severe hunger pains.
Pain is entirely absent at night while sleeping, and absent first thing in the morning. I sleep well.
Pain begins with discomfort when anything is ingested, even water or medication.
Our miniature dachshund just had pups on may 14 and has developed bloody diarrhea. Is this normal or could it be parvo?
The only contraindications would be immunosuppression or pancreatitis. There are several good brands on the market that include Digestive Advantage-IBS, Culturelle and Flora Q among others.
My chocolate lab "Skip" is about 10 years old and developed pancreatitis for the first time. We took him to the doctor he never vomited or diahrea until the day after he got to the vets office. His amalyse was high like 8000 and his glucose and white blood count low but we got an ultrasound to make sure not cancer. He started to show improvements with the IV and antibiotic. Now a week later he is starting to decline and the vet has tried everything.
5 years ago she was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, but could not take any med for the disease because any med gave her pancreatitis. So 1 year ago, after being in the hospital all the time with diarrhea and pancreatitis, I said no more meds.
I put her on Aloe from Gastric Gold, fish oil, boswellia, vitamins, l glutamine and all symtoms stopped till 2 weeks ago when she got sick again. She said she hit her pancrease on a ride at the carnival and it started hurting.
It sounds like to me also that it might have been pancreatitis. It is so difficult when we lose a member of our family. Pancreatitis unfortunately can become severe basically overnight, and that might be what happened in your guys case. Again I am very sorry for your loss. God Bless Brenda
Hello heartfluttersflyawayplz, A dog can get pancreatitis from infections, obesity, trauma, medications-sulfa drugs, and chemotherapy, following surgery, and metabolic disorders.
If it is the bile ducts you can have stents put in. Bile duct problems can cause pancreatitis or vice versa. I am a long time sufferer from pancreatitis and sod. If you have problems with backed up bile ducts it could certainly have caused the sepsis you had. IT will push toxins in to the blood stream and make you sick. An ultrasound will be better in finding a blockage in your duct. But the best way is an ercp.
My baby poodle started with a swollen stomach. He had been having diareha also. He is now at the hospial in critical condition. They said that he should needs to have a blood transfusion today. He was given plasma all night last night. But they said that he is not doing good at all and that now his electrolites are low. I am really worried about him. I do not want him to die. Can you please tell me if the swollen stomach and diareaha are from this? i DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.
Dear Doctor,
My dog is 3 years old and is a female Chihuahua and Pomeranian mix. This past week she has been having some major diarrhea issues in the early morning between 4 and 5 am. I also have discovered that she is shedding fur a lot as well. If I pet her, large clumps of fur will easily come off. I also gave her a de-worming pill less than a week ago. Can you please tell me what is wrong with her?
Thank you so much for your time.
