I would encourage you to get to another doctor for a second opinion. Lots of things can cause a pancreatitis- not just smoking or drinking, and if you are at the point that you are bed ridden, they should be addressing this much more 'hands on'.
With repeated bouts of acute pancreatitis, damage to the pancreas can occur and lead to chronic pancreatitis. Scar tissue may form in the pancreas, causing loss of function. A poorly functioning pancreas can cause digestion problems and diabetes.
Long term bulimia can result in pancreatitis, which in turn , over time can cause permanent damage to the insulin producing organ. I speak from experience ive been bulimic for 24 years, and am now diabetic due to long term pancreatitis.
I have read that gallbladder surgery is dangerous in the presence of pancreatitis and that the pancreatitis can also cause gallbladder disease or vice versa. Anyone had similar question?
or it could be pancreatitis.. if you've been drinking or hitting NSAD's really hard lately..the pain is pretty high with pancreatitis and you'd be doubled over..but not always. A blood test for pancreatitis can be used if you've been drinking a lot.. either way with an ulcer i'd avoid alchohol/tylenol/asprin like the plague. That'll kill your stomach.
Fluid therapy, regular blood work (sometimes several times a day), pain meds or a patch for pain and antibiotics are often used. This is a very painful condition. In pancreatitis, nutrients the dog needs are passed out in the feces, thus probably the reason for the weight loss (and that is quite a bit). Has he been checked for diabetes?
I did read that some antibiotics can cause pancreatitis, among a lot of other things, and I had noticed her feeling sick, right as she was finishing up a round of antibiotics that she was given last month when she had dental work done, so I now sort of think that may have set off her illness. Anyhow, if by this time next week she is doing well, I'll post one more time and let you all know. And of course if she goes downhill, I'll let you all know about that, too.
Over-the-counter meds like Ibuprofen,Tylenol, Naproxen Sodium and also some common antibiotics can cause elevated liver enzymes. Statins taken for cholesterol often cause elevated liver enzymes.

Belief it or not severe constipation with a lot of bearing down can cause the pseudomediastinum. Also, something that caused a tear of the trachea or excessive vomiting or sneezing. It could have caused a leak in between the lung and the area between the two lungs, and maybe his peritoneum got a tear too? This could lead to a bacterial infection. Is his temperature high? If so they will put him on antibiotics. Let us know how he does.
Hello.....It's possible that this has been a chronic case of undiagnosed Pancreatitis that has now lead to Diabetes....... Did this show up on any of her tests? Diabetes can cause sudden blindness & can be a result of the Pancreatitis....Just a thought....I do hope she's doing better....Please, let us know.......
The allergy medicine the vet gives me does not work, also he has had pancreatitis and for that reason they try not to give him any cortizone. Is this a common condition for this breed? Is there something I can do?
Stomach cramps with antibiotics are not uncommon (the antibiotics make the muscles of the intestine move more quickly, and can cause loose stool as well). However, fever and itching can be a sign of an allergy. It is possible to develop an allergy at any time in your life, even to an antibiotic you have taken before.
I hope this helps.
Can the medicine Zanaflex cause Pancreatitis? I have looked up information on this med and it states that 1 out of 20 patients could develop liver damage. I was diagnosed with Pancreatitis on 10/14/08. I had never had it in my life. I am afraid this medicine has caused it. I have never ever picked up any type of drink other than diet pepsi and jucie. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I am so scared and hurting.
So its actually more difficult, but an increase in lipase, even if constantly small increase does indicate your pancreas (though some other diseases can cause a slight rise). I was essentially dx due to constant slight rise in labs, along with classic symptoms of pain, and malabsorption of stools-though my scans always clear.
Since then, I have had about three attacks. These were treated with antibiotics and I have learned what I can and can't eat. I'm controlling it. After the last attack, my GI doc sent me for CT Scan w/contrast of abdominal/pelvic area. Unexpectedly, a 6.5mm lesion was detected on the pancreas. I was supposed to have an endosonography this past Sunday. Saturday evening, soon after a big meal, I developed an aching in my right back, below shoulder blade, like where my kidney is.
Please make sure that the ERCP with done WITH a manometry component. Many facilities are unable to do it (docs aren't trained or they don't have the equipement), but it's a very necessary part of the procedure. If the ductal pressures aren't high, the sphincter at the opening of the common bile duct at the duodenum should NOT be cut. Many docs routinely cut that sphincter and if the pressures aren't high it can cause problems down the line.
m really sorry to hear your dog has pancreas trouble. There can be various underlying causes for pancreatitis and since your dog seemed to respond to antibiotics, it's possible his pancreas is infected. That may be due to a structural problem either within the pancreas itself or further down in the pancreatic duct. If imaging studies have not been done, it's time to take a look to see if there is a tumor or psuedo-cyst (pocket of infection) present.
t help you. Pancreatitis does sometimes occur randomly without known cause, but the vast majority of those who get it are alcoholics and smokers. It's possible you just tweaked something in that area, such as when doing abs or reaching. If you're a relatively young, healthy person, that's the most likely thing that happened. While NIH does report a case of acute pancreatitis occurring because of this disease you had, again, if you had that, you'd really really know it.
