pancreatitis

Avatar m tn My aunt had a mini-schnauzer who had an acute attack early in life. She had chronic pancreatitis for the rest of her life with a handful of acute attacks thrown in. BUT, she lived to be 18. I'm praying for that kind of outcome for your little girl. Do keep us posted on her progress.
Avatar f tn My mini schnauzer has very simular problems. Our vet now believes its autoimmune disease which caused his liver problems. Only biopsy can confirm this, but because of the liver problems, my dog has slow blood clotting problems and thus cannot go into surgery. So we have just began steriod treatment to treat the autoimmune disease. We are just hoping the steriods will not worsen the liver... It is great that your dog eats well!!
Avatar m tn Hi, to start I live in China and do not have the best access to a good veterinarian. With that being said my 3 month old mini schnauzer has been doing this thing where it sounds like he is trying to clear his throat or get something up then at the end dry heaves. This has been happening for the past 24 hours. When the few times he has thrown up in been clear like water. What should I do? is this normal?
Avatar m tn I just recently bought a mini schnauzer. He is 3 and a half months old. when I bought him they told me to only feed him 2 times a day and only 30 pieces each time. The pieces are very small, puppy food. The problem is, he is very skinny. I can feel his ribs all the around. I living in China and bought him here and know that Chinese are still new to being dog owners. So I went online and did some research myself.
Avatar n tn My 6 lb male schnauzer 1 1/2 yrs old...started crying out when I pick him up...he is not throwing up and has a normal stool....my vet treated him with anti inflammatories and he did better....but it started back up...he also started shaking cause of the pain...he eats well and poops well....my vet then took radiographs and thought it looked like something in the stomach but couldn't tell....
Avatar n tn My aunt had a mini schnauzer who lived over 18 years, and most of those years included chronic pancreatitis with a few acute attacks requiring hospitalization. Apparently pancreatitis is a big genetic problem with that breed now. Don't despair! Things are looking good for you both right now.
Avatar n tn Some dogs will have problems and flareups the rest of their lives after one bout of acute panc, and the same thing happens in humans. My aunt had mini schnauzer who had pancreas flares for the last half of her 18 (yes, that's 18 - not a typo!) years. Thanks for taking such good care of your pup.
Avatar m tn My aunt and uncle had a mini-schnauzer who developed chronic pancreatitis at age 7. While she had periodic hospitalizations and had to be on prescription food the rest of her life, she lived to be 18! Having gone through this with one of my dogs years ago, I know how tempting it is to want to feed your dog more food. His life depends on you resisting that temptation. Since he's back to vomiting in the mornings, withhold food for at least the rest of the day.
Avatar n tn I have a 15lb Mini Schnauzer who swallowed one of my husband's Plavix this morning. My husband was pouring it from its container into his hand when it fell onto the floor. The dog was right at his feet and was on it like white on rice.Has this happened to anyone else? What did you do? How long does it take for this medication to get out of the system in a dog?
Avatar m tn My schnauzer has pancreatitis. She's the second one I've had with pancreatitis. My first one lived with it for 9 years. The pancreas actually acts as if it's digesting itself. That causes horrible pain that radiates to the back and down the leg. A good thing to feed is boiled chicken breast and boiled white rice in the chicken broth water. Pedialyte popsicles are good to give them. I'm also a retired nurse.
Avatar f tn Is your miniature schnauzer still doing this? I have had 2 mini's; one lived to aged 12 and one to 17. My current mini is 3. Occasionally my mini who lived to 17 would develop a limp and the vet said it probably came from jumping of some sort. He said we shouldn't encourage it at all. I remember a couple of times he wouldn't even move from the backyard; it was like he couldn't walk anymore! The next day he was fine....
787406 tn?1339203183 I am also having a problem with breath odor. It started out with the pug, then we got a mini schnauzer in december 2009 and now she has it and now we just got a Border Collie who is on a totally different food because she is only 4 months old and now her breath is beginning to smell. All 3 dogs get there teeth brushed daily and baths every 2 weeks. Could it be because all 3 dogs are eating grass all day, they just love eating it. And no it does not make them sick.
Avatar m tn my puppy is 7 weeks old is a female mini schnauzer and since last night is not playing only sleeping and cant hardly walk im very scare because i dont know if she has parvo virus but she is do not have diarrhea no vomiting i did give her pedialite and Gatorade and she looks a litter better..
Avatar n tn I have a female unneutered mini schnauzer who has been acting oddly around one of our cats, a black neutered male cat. When the cat was first introduced into our home and 3 other cats, the dog was the first to go up to the cat and adopt it as a playmate. The pair are constantly playing or fighting but otherwise tend to get along well. Recently, the dog has been exhibiting a tendency to after a bit of playing, to lay the cat down and begin trying to hump it. The cat will lay and silently purr.
Avatar f tn My mini schnauzer (5yrs) has developed a small red/pink spot on his nose. Increased slightly in size and deepened in colour since last week. Any ideas what this might be ?
Avatar m tn We have a 11 1/2 year old mini Schnauzer who our vet tells us needs a rabies shot. She is confined to her own back yard, never off leash and always under my care. Also, is there other options for Advantage, which she has been on for her entire life. She is healthy, lots of exercise and in good shape. Just don't want her to get fleas, etc.
Avatar f tn I'm assuming you're talking about a pituitary tumor in the brain? If it were my dog, I would do the surgery. There really is no other way to treat this problem if that's the case. My Aunt had a mini-schnauzer who lived to nearly 20 years with chronic pancreatitis, so this dog's life isn't over by a long shot. What I would be more concerned about is the side-effects of the Cushings disease on the kidneys as evidenced by the excessive drinking and peeing.

Avatar n tn My mini schnauzer that is 9 months old is doing something similar but only when my son is around. He shakes violently and has even hidden in the bath tub. I don't want to think my son hurt him but what else can it be. He seemed fine until a few days ago. Also he gets excited when my son comes home like everyone else. It breaks my heart to see him act this way.

Avatar m tn my 23 pound 1-yr old mini schnauzer/aussie ate 5mg of Bisoprolol. What should I do? Please help.
Avatar f tn My son and daughter in laws mini schnauzer is 10 almost 11. In the past 2 weeks while sleeping he has cried out in severe pain and seemed to be almost frozen in place. Usually a very independent soul he has become very clingy and needs constant rubs. Took him to vet with three possibilities, seizure, brain tumor, or spinal cord problems. Vet prescribed prednisone and a muscle relaxer, and a steroid shot. The attacks have increase and meds seem not to be working some loss of bladder control.
Avatar n tn I have a mini schnauzer that is 3 years old. He have a skin irritation on the back of the paws. It itch a lot, and right now he lose his hair on the paws. It also have it between the fingers on the paws too. I took him to the different vets, but anything that they gave it to him works.They only concur that is a skin irritation. I change the food, I clean with mild detergents. I bath him with a oatmeal soap. He is always clean. He doesn't eat anything that is not design for dogs.
Avatar n tn Pregnancy is very stressful on a body of any species and the stress can bring out dormant parasites, or increase susceptibility to other disease such as pancreatitis or colitis. Please have her evaluated by a vet!
Avatar n tn I have had chronic pancreatitis for 18 years so I feel like I have a handle on what the symptoms are! I had my first pancreatitis attack after an ERCP in 1990. The pain is in the epigastric region and is a pain like you have never felt before. Completely debilitating! A full blown attack hits you instantly with very sharp intense pain in the epigastric region that goes straight through to your back. With each of these attacks, I would start vomiting and would be vomiting bile.
Avatar n tn It sounds like it is a good thing that you can get her in to see a Vet today. I guess if this were happening to me, I would bring Mini in right away, in hopes that they will be able to see her sooner. The way I see it, you can wait at home, or you can wait at the Vet's office. Just being there may give you a little peace of mind. I hope that all goes well. Please let us know what they find out. My thoughts are with you and your girl.
