| Update on Danger I just spoke to the vet and she said that she thinks he might have slight pancreatitis. His white blood cell count is fine, so there it’s not severe to where it can’t be taken care of. He is however pretty sick at the moment. They are keeping him overnight and currently have him on an I.V. because he needs fluids to get better. They have also given him medication for the pain. She did say however, that once he gets better, she needs to have a little talk with me and my husband about what we feed him (slap on the hand to me in my husband in other words…). He is still at the vet and I am still worried sick. I can just picture the little guy with his sad puppy eyes. (I’ve already had my session of crying here at work in the restroom) I would just like to say thank you to all of you who had your thoughts with us and my baby. It feels absolutely wonderful to have yorkie friends to have a shoulder to lean on and get reassuring words from. I will keep you guys updated on Danger. I really hope he comes home soon! I miss him lots! |

| Pancreatitis is a scary thing. Most people learn the hard way as you have how dangerous table scraps can be. I'm glad your vet thinks Danger will recover. Wait until you get the bill. I doubt your vet will have to have a little talk with you and your husband after that! A co-worker's father gave her Yorkie a little piece of ham awhile back and it ended up costing her $1,500. |

| I am so glad that Danger is getting the fluids he needs. Maybe when he gets over this bout he will be all better. Praying that he is.

| The threat of getting pancreatitis finally got my dh to quite giving table snacks to my furbabies. It is a real threat to small doggies. Glad you know what is wrong and Danger is receiving the help he needs.

| I don't know how I missed your first posts! First, welcome to YT. I am so terribly sorry that your little Danger is sick, but happy that he is getting help and will soon be back to his happy little self! I will be praying for his complete recovery and for you and your hubby. I know it's so hard when they are sick and we feel helpless. God bless you all.
