NOOOOOOOOOO treats nothing but dog food - they will take kibble as treats trust me mine do if it is all they get and i did the whole treat thing until dexter almost died and it cost us 10k over the past year to try and get him back to normal as he has relapses of ibd

I have never heard of a patch and would not use one on a dog - if he has pancreatitis you need to find the best 24 hour care around u as it is extremely painful and food should be restricted for a few days and fed through iv and on iv or the cycle will not stop - i messed with a vet for a week and then he got worse and cost me 3k for her to mess with him and she still wanted to mess with him and i took him to the best facility where he could get 24 hour care - he was so bad they had to do a plasma transfusion.

When they get pancreatitis they cannot have any food as the pancreas gets inflamed and can eat the other organs and damage them this is why dexter has small intestine ibd

Have them run CPL I test immediately. Dexter did not have blood or diarhea he only had vommitting but there are different signs.

The meds he took were, famotidine (pepcid), metronidazole, metoclopramide, sulcralfate, etc but never a patch never heard of this and I was dealing with the best facility as vets come all over country to study there after vet school it is like emergency vets on animal planet.

They saved him --- do not let a vet mess with him go to an internal medicine doctor which it looks like you did and that is who took care of him. If i had not taken him from that vets office I think he would have died.

The true test will be they should never recommend i/d for your dog. If they do they are not real experienced with pancreatitis.

Hang in there but get the cpli test and demand it as that is the only way you will know if you can rule out pancreatitis - I did ultra sound along with it but later found the cpli test is even more accurate than the ultra sound. Ultra sound works when pancreatitis is extremely severe like dexter - amylase and lypase test is not accurate as when dexter was bad they were good and when dexter was good tests were bad so not accurate at allll
