Common Questions and Answers about Pancreatitis symptoms puppy

pancreatitis

Avatar f tn Since the vet you took him to didn't seem to think anything was really wrong, and since there obviously IS something quite wrong, if it were me, unless this is a vet that you have used for many years and trust implicitly, I would take him to a different vet. Whatever is happening either WASN'T happening when your vet examined him or WAS happening and your vet completely missed it, so you need to be honest with yourself and decide which one you think it was and act accordingly.
Avatar f tn OMG I can't believe I'm not the only one dealing with a puppy with pancreatitis...My puppy has been in and out of the vets office more times than I care to count since we got her in May. This little Chessie is just miserable. She will be great for a few days and then within a matter of a few hours she can be in pain and so sick. I am able to do IVs at home if I need to, but my question is what do you get them to eat? Pumpkin she loves...yogurt at times.
Avatar f tn A 13 week old puppy who is vomiting and off his feed needs to be seen by his vet ASAP. Is he up to date on his vaccinations? Vomiting and going off their feed is one of the first symptoms of distemper or parvo. What was the puppy seen by the vet for on January 2? I'm guessing you meant that it was January 2, 2012 and not 2011 since he's only 13 weeks old? Just need to clarify that.
Avatar f tn My 9 month old puppy was diagnosed with pancreatitis today, they kept him at the vet all day giving him IV fluids. They let us take him home tonight so he was only admitted for about 12 hours.
Avatar n tn Did the vet say an ultra-sound should be done. My dog had all the symptoms of pancreatitis - and we found out when it was too late that he had eaten a piece of rubber - and it was lodged in his intestines. It didnt show up on an x-ray ... but did when i decided to take him for an ultra-sound. Unfortunately, Willie was too weak, and passed away.
Avatar n tn 5 months now. He was initially eating Eukanuba Large Breed Puppy but experienced consistent diarrhea. He has been had several stool samples analyzed and has tested positive for Giardia and Coccidia, was treated, and tested negative 2 times since. We switched him to a chicken and rice diet to settle his stomach and the stool went completely normal.
Avatar f tn ve ever had is a (drum roll please)...................CRAMP????? Hahahahaha, dipshit! All my symptoms point to Pancreatitis. I am going to my regular GI Doc on Tues, excited to maybe get some answers. I also "googled" the results of my Transvaginal Ultrasound, ha! I seem to have a "Complex" cyst on my left ovary. Those are the kind that have to be evaluated right away and removed, they are not good!
Avatar f tn Hello, I found this puppy no older than 6 months. iwant to keep him, but in the last 2 to 3 days, he has lost alot of weight. he has no energy like he used to, he WILL NOT EAT OR DRINK anything. I have been trying to nurse him back to health by trying to get him to eat and drink. I have no money to take him to the vet, expecially if it is something minor. he has diarrhea also, but not to much because he won't eat or drink. I don't know what to do.
Avatar n tn Hello Zoey.....Boy, it sounds like your girl's sick! You don't say how old this dog is.....If it's a puppy, you could be looking at something fatal like Parvo, which you don't have long to treat before it gets out of hand.... You also don't say where the blood is coming from...If it's associated with her diarrhea, it could be anything from parasites to poison....
Avatar n tn Current thinking on when to take a dog off puppy food has a lot to do with the size of the breed. Larger dogs should come off of puppy food earlier, hence the whole marketing blitz of 'large breed puppy food' that is really just more expensive adult food mostly. I have raised both english bulldogs and pit bulls on a high quality 'all ages' food and everyone had done wonderfully. Canidae & Artiemis make good ones, and I'm sure there are others.
Avatar f tn Sounds like she is in pain or major discomfort, not sure if it internal, possible spinal problem, etc. I think you had better get her in to see the Vet to determine what is going on.
Avatar f tn Hi, understand your concern. With pancreatitis usually the lipase and amylase values are increased many folds. And if chronic the imaging studies will usually show pancreatic fibrosis. In the absence of these findings its unlikely that you have chronic pancreatitis. The other causes for the pain could be infections of the bowel and bladder, prolapsed intervertebral disc or inflammatory diseases of the colon. So, if your symptoms persist discuss these options with your doctor. Regards.
Avatar m tn ve avoided all carbs and sugar on the advice of dr google, I started to suspect it could be Pancreatitis as a side effect of the hand foot mouth virus. This diet seems to help, I barely feel the pain now, it comes and goes. I have also been peeing a lot, but I've been drinking a lot of water. Not necessarily because I'm super thirsty, but when I'm not feeling well, I try to drink a lot of water.
Avatar f tn I have a one year old Shih Tzu female. Recenty we had a friend who had a puppy who stayed with us for the last two weeks. The day before yesterday, he left with his dog. They got along great and played a lot. Now, all day yesterday she has seemed mopy,down, maybe depressed, but she has also been randomly shaking. I know she is due to go into heat early next month, but I'm not sure this is normal? She didn't act like this when she went into heat when she was 6 months old.
2217169 tn?1371483722 had another one yesterday, my little dog was very ill, we had him at vet sunday night, then again yesterday as he was not getting better.............. he almost died a couple years ago from pancreatitis... so we thought it came back, i felt like i was being tested AGAIN... and I probably was............... but again i passed, and i'm pleased to say that after an injection of anitbiotics and fluids... my baby boy is doing just fine today and so is mommy!! LOL Hugs to all..................
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn My cat was DX w pancreatitius & met all symptoms for a few weeks / the meds worked but it got bad. Then a big turn happened. He started eating & now won't stop! His constant meowing is driving me crazy.he lost weight whwhen really sick. He is still underweight but why does he demand food 24/7? I'm so stressed out I can't think straight. Upset too if his DX was wrong we spent so much $$ on labs/meds. Now I'm not sure/don't think he has it! Help.
Avatar n tn 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?
1727909 tn?1314845210 I'm having gallbladder pain and symptoms- has anyone gained weight after the surgery? And what is it about GB removal that makes you gain weight?
Avatar f tn Last year was diagnosed with pancreatitis. Am again suffering from similiar symptoms. Hospital told me not to eat till I saw family doctor. He told me not to eat for 3 days, drink water only. Symptoms got better starting eating carbs after that. 8months later and similiar symptoms, fatigue, bloating. Shall I assume the liquid diet for a few days? Not sure what the doctor or hospital will do other than tell me that and don't want to waste 12 hours in the ER again, let alone the cost.
Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar f tn You may have chronic pancreatitis. Find a biliary specialist soon. You should get testing to determine if you have this or not. If you do they will advise you what to do to help.
Avatar n tn I had my first attack of acute pancreatitis last week. It was a mild attack. I spent a couple of days in the hospital on IV. I'm feeling much better and haven't had another painful attack. However, I still seem to have soreness on my left side, but not in the same location as the pancreatitis pain. My stomach is also still bloated. My attack was 5 days ago. My question is; is it normal to have some residual soreness after acute pancreatitis?
Avatar f tn //www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pancreatitis/symptoms-causes/syc-20360227 It's my understanding that sometimes in severe scaring cases they will do surgery or use nerve blocks to help. But more information would be beneficial for more discussion.
Avatar m tn m not a big drinker, and in fact have had no alcohol (or any other vice) for probably 5 months in effort to lose weight. The symptoms are making me think chronic pancreatitis based on what I have read though I have had no symptoms like this prior to the initial event. Over the course of a few months, the symptoms do not seem to be worsening, which is good, but also not getting better.
