| Our sick little Pookie We just got our first house dog Pookie in November and she is very sick. She got sick over the Christmas holiday and we took her to the vet on Monday. They kept her and did bloodwork and etc. and said her sugar had dropped dangerously low but by Tuesday evening she was doing better and they sent her home. She never got to feeling much better and by Friday she wouldn't eat or drink anything. We took her back to the vet on Saturday and he said her pancreatic enzymes were way to high and she was dehydrated. By Monday she was not much better but that evening the vet said she was feeling better and even ate a few bites. On Tuesday morning I called and they said she had took a turn for the worse overnight. I went down there and she was having seizures. They did more blood work and gave her lots of meds but the seizures continued throughout the day. It has been horrible. They are keeping her heavily sedated for 24 hours to see if she improves any but said it doesn't look good. We are so very sad! Has anyone else had this kind of problem? |

| I'm very sorry to hear about Pookie. It seems there is so much going on with her. Sometimes if the sugar drops low that can cause seizures but the fact that they are continuing when she is in a hospital setting seems very troubling. I only hope and pray that the doctors can find out what is wrong and try to help her. Please come back and keep us posted.

| I am so sorry about your baby. Sometimes these little guys surprise you and pull right out of it. I think its really important to have a vet you trust and you know they know what they are talking about. Will be praying for your baby that they can find out what is wrong and everything will be good for this little one. |

| Thanks to all of you! The only answer we have so far is pancreatitis. Another vet took a look at her yesterday and said he was gonna try to come up with more answers because he thinks there is more going on than just the pancreas problem. We are hoping for a miracle for our little Pookie. We all love her so much. |

| I'm so very sorry to hear this. Did you contact her breeder? Did the Vet. run a bile acid test to see if it could be a liver shunt? Please keep us posted.
