pancreatitis healing time

Is she on pain meds? sounds like pancreatitis is quite painful and its a good idea to use pain control to promote healing. for long term pain control the most recommended opiate is BUPRENEX or TRAMADOL for cats. good pain control would also make her feel more like eating, but on the other hand loss of appetite can be a side effect of some of the medications...so need good Vet advice there. Are you assist feeding her? If she is not eating well, hepatic lipidosis is a very serious worry.

My daughter is 18yr old now. She has pancreatitis in the past but for about 7 times in the last 5 months she is been in an out of the hospital with acute pancreatitis. When pancreatitis occurs she always has a strong pain with elevated Amylase and Lipase levels suggesting a pancreatic dysfunction. Yesterday she woke up vomiting with just a litter abdominal discomfort. Blood work shows no significant levels of amylase or lipase.

Time Out and time for reflection I was going to save for weekend but as with TX you just never know what’s going to pop up.

Three days later he was back to vomiting and not eating and we were back at the vet- this time she told us it could be pancreatitis or an obstruction. We treated for pancreatitis (fluids/steroids/antibiotic). Again, better for three days, then back to vomiting and not eating. Went back a few days later for more of the same. Doctor says x-rays might show an obstruction- might not- and that would mean surgery- which we can't afford.

I was wondering how long would a normal time be for healing from a wound? My dog seems to have a very slow healing time. She has hurt her paw before, which took forever to heal. And now the scab above her eye still isn't all the way healed. Is there something I can do to help her? It doesn't seem to bother her, but I want it to heal faster, so there won't be much room for infection or anything else to happen.

All the doctors and surgeon have said they are certain that the first attack was because of gallstones but if it was and then the second attack was because a stone slipped through and the third attack was because I didn’t know you weren’t supposed to drink while the pancreas was healing why did I get it the 4th time? I was trying really hard with my diet and doing well.

I am a 60 year old female who was diagnosed in the late 80s with acute pancreatitis and still have sporadic trouble today in 2014. A few weeks ago I was diagnosed with hcv and was wondering what effects I would have with the two diseases together, for instance if given treatment for my hep-c will it make my pancreas worse or will I even be able to do the hcv treatment at all?

After doing a endoscopy my stomach pain was twice as bad, it must have gotten irritated from doing the test, I went to the hospital 3 times in 1 week, each time they didnt help me. I had no appetite at this time either and barely ate anything. I just recently went for computerized stress test (biomerdian.com) it measures your vitamin levels, food allergies, and can detect parasites. I was diagonsed with giardia, I was given natural medinces to fight the parasite.

My little Poodle Julie just had her 3rd attack of Pancreatitis...all within 7 mos. time. Each time it was back to the Vets for 4 day stay there & IV treatments. It gets outrageous on what I am charged each time. This time, they said her attack wasn't as severe as the others & I took her home tonight..after her being there for 27 hours, I was outrageously charged $1,036.25. I took her home with amoxicillin only..7 tablets for 25.00.

The one that we had to put down had experienced pancreatitis twice before in that year--so like Jaybay said, even if the dog recovers from it the first time, the chances of them getting it again in a short period of time is very high, and each time they get it again, they get sicker and weaker. My dog that died from it was at the point of having siezures, probably from the stress and the pain she was in. Again, I am so sorry for your loss. I honestly know how it feels.

My mother has been suffering from Pancreatitis for the past 4months. She has been in hospital three times with severe pain, vomitting, and fluid in the abdominal. In that time she has lots over 25kg. She is 60 years old but since loosing so much weight she looks like 80 years old. She no longer drinks but continues to smoke. What worries me the most is that she eats very tiny amount of food, she vomitts everyday and she is just not getting any better.

My question is does this mean I have chronic pancreatitis or can you not tell on a MRCP? Does the duct dilatation set off an inflamation of the liver and pancreas and cause the pancreatitis pain? Also can the duct dilatation heal on its own in time? I have no desire to undergo an ERCP as I've heard such nightmare stories from people who have undergone but yet I'm so tired of not feeling good and having pain and just would like to feel good again. Thanks for your help.

Pancreatitis at Christmas time. That is pretty classic. Is it possible that she got into some (really wrong for dogs) human Christmas food? Or even a bit of fatty meat? Anyway, that is past now. But it can take the pancreas time to heal after an acute bout of pancreatitis. Some regimes recommend fasting with only water, in order for the healing to take place. However, yes 10 days is quite a long time for a little dog to go with no nutrients at all. Is she getting any fluids?

I went to see my GI docor on Monday afternoon and he said that I had to go back into the hospital as he did not feel that the pancreatitis had completely resolfved yet and I appeared very dehydrated. I couldn't help but start crying. Fortunately my husband was with me so that helped tremendously. I thought I would be out today, Friday, but I have been on what they call NPO or nothing by mouth since Monday.

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.

They do not like to do this procedure so close to having a pancreas attack because of the dye they use can make you flare up and become worse so they try to buy as much time as possible away from an attack. I have the pain back pretty bad again today so a little discouraged. I just thought I would write what I have learned to share with you all. I will let you know how it goes.

The radiologist and my pancreatic specialist said they need to be monitored and no real concern at this time. The endoscopy found mild gastritis. All other test are normal.The pancreatic specialist did not mention pancreatitis at the time and only prescribed nexium and sulcrafate for the gastritis. I am 67, and never had a previous bout with pancreatitis. Moderate beer drinker. How should I be treated?

This kind of pain with drinking can be from pancreatitis - I know. I have chronic pancreatitis and it all started with alcohol. Same pain in the back that radiates. They will do enzyme tests to see if they are elevated. But you should go in when you are in pain as if you wait, they could return back to normal. Maybe you shouldn't drink AT ALL. Ask your doc to refer you to a gastroenterologist.

Hi everyone, Two days ago my 5 year old female Husky/Pit mix met me at the front door when I arrived home from work and out of nowhere started yelping/crying in pain and lowering her head. It only lasted 2 or 3 seconds and then she stopped. I petted her and pressed all over her body, looked in her ears, moved her legs, checked her paws and even her mouth and nothing looks wrong or causes her pain when pressed.

I have been having pain in my upper left quadrant of my abdomen and into my back around my rib cage for several years now. It will come and go but is very painful most of the time. I have had all kinds of tests including several CT abdominal scans over the years. On the last scan I had they read that I had an accessory spleen and that was never mentioned before. I also have bloating and major pain when I eat. My abdomen gets hard and feels very extended.
