pancreatitis
t start treatment with a medication that can cause pancreatitis while you have pancreatitis. I bet any doctor would tell you that. Epclusa includes sofosbuvir which lists "pancreatitis" as a possible side effect.
Here's a study that says....
"There were 7 grade 3 events including anemia, neutropenia, nausea, hypophosphatemia, and cholelithiasis or pancreatitis."

I am undergoing treatment for pancreatitis, I am 29 yrs old and not an alcoholic. What precautions I should take while undergoing treatment ? what are the chances of recovering from this disease?
I know this sounds bad but our hounds will learn that people food is not good for them and most vets will tell the same thing as the fat in our foods is too hard on our loving pets stomachs. The truth hurts I know from experience as we almost lost our minipin by letting her eat leftovers one night. The vet said that the fat content that our little one ate was too rich and it may her pancreas shut down basically.
He is a very sensitive, nervous cat. His labs indicate that he does not have pancreatitis, and overall his lab work looks good. He had a full senior work up, as well as urinanalysis and the test for the pancreatitis (negative). He has been dehydrated, not eating well, nauseated and vomiting. Is the next step to do an ultrasound?
MY DAUGHTER IS HAVING RECURRENT STROKES OF ACUTE PANCREATITIS. NOW SHE IS 12 YEARS OLD AND HAVING THE PROBLEM FOR LAST 2 YRS. THE ATTACKS HAVE LESSEND A BIT THIS YEAR IN TERMS OF RECURRANCES. SHE HAS BEEN ADVISED SONOGRAPHY REPEATEDLY BUT GENERALLY EVERY TIME ONLY A BULGE IN THE TAIL OF PANCREAS IS FOUND. ERCP HAS BEEN DONE AND THE DUCTS ARE NOT DILATED. SO SCHRINTOMY WAS NOT POSSIBLE. PLEASE SUGGEST TREATMENT AND WHETHER AT ALL THIS IS CURABLE.
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.
I had to put my 11 year old Llhasa apso to sleep yesterday because he was diagnosed with pancreatitis and was in so much pain that they could not guarantee that he would survive even with treatment. It came on suddenly...he was fine Saturday but began throwing up in the middle of the night and continued...he couldn't even hold down water and was very weak. I took him into the veterinary hospital on Sunday and he was too weak to come home.
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?
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.
How long can someone live (approx) with Chronic Pancreatitis when they are a heavy drinker? I have a family member that was Diagnosed with this and continues to drink heavy! He has had many attacks! This last time they wanted to place him in ICU but he checked him self out against Medical advise! If he continues to drink like this what will happen to him? Worried!!!
Correction: Gall bladder pancreatitis should be gall stone pancreatitis
I agree 100% with Ginger, it sounds like an attack of pancreatitis to me. The normal treatment for pancreatitis is one week of hospitalization on NOTHING but IV fluids, not even water to drink, to give the pancreas TOTAL REST. After the week is up, they start slowly introducing very bland food.
Any time a dog is fed human food there is the risk of them developing pancreatitis, and even one meal can be enough to cause it.
Due to excessive alcohol consumption, I have been hospitalized with pancreatitis 3 times. They were all very severe attacks. I've been sober since the last hospitalization, over a year ago. I have constant pain in my back and under my rib cage, where my pancreas is located. My doctor says it should eventually stop hurting but it doesn't seem to be improving. My gallbladder has been removed, my blood work is normal and scans of my pancreas show nothing.
It could be anything from a virus, to a gut blockage, a tumor in her throat....pancreatitis......liver problem, kidney problem....
Only a vet can tell you.
One way or another you HAVE to find the money needed for her treatment. Is there a relative or friend you could borrow money from? Or like Margot says, it IS possible a vet will allow you to make payments in stages. It depends. But I would advise speaking to the actual vet, and not just the receptionist in the office there.
I'm going to give you the following link with the warning I've never actually tried holistic treatment for pets (it's a subject I'm starting to get more interested in). There is an Icelandic herb that's very good for treating infection in cats, but I can't remember the name for the life of me right now. I'll try to jog my memory and get back to you.
Be aware that these companies are not federally regulated.
However, if the pancreatitis is a chronic condition, then a combined treatment (much like what you are doing now) is probably the right path to take.
In any event, I think you are certainly doing all you can do, for now. You are right to keep phosphorus in the diet low too. In amidst the diet changes, it's essential to give both nutrients and carbohydrates, the latter is the only energy provider, because fats and proteins are to be avoided.
Do keep us posted.
Purina doesn't make anything natural!!! IMO, Purina doesn't make anything considered FOOD! If this is Pancreatitis, it's dangerous/deadly, & he should be checked by his Vet......Shaking is a sign of pain, drooling is a sign of poison, so it must be intense for your guy!
Any chance he could have gotten into something poisonous? If you are completely sure, then you must evaluate his food.....There are many Purina products making animals very, very ill or even worse.....
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.
s Syndrome with fibromyalgia 7 months ago. Since that time I have been diagnised with chronic pancreatitis, gastroparesis and sarcoidosis. Is there a possibility that these diseases are related? She has attempted to treat the pancreatitis and the digestive issues but have yet to be treated in any way for the Sjogren's or the sarcoidosis. Is this proper protocol?
