Yes, AMY levels would go along w/ sugars. Like, if you put a piece of candy (or any sugar/carb) in your mouth, the pancreas is stimulated to release amylase to begin sugar/glucose digestion - so they are intimately tied together. It could be just from her system being thrown into vomiting - as in, perhaps she was so dehydrated that her blood became "concentrated" rather than "dilute" - so her sugars are "up". But I can't say for sure - it's so hard to know. It would be nice if they tested again to see how the level is now and then again after eating (so, fasting and eating) - have they done that?
Try not to worry too much, hun, but I know how hard that is! It could really just be an isolated, but scary, incident. Keep us posted!!!! HUGS! |
Anne, I can't believe I missed your post above! Thank you for that useful information. I swear you should be a nutritionist with all the knowledge you have! I am hoping what you said is the case with Mango. She was vomiting SO much, perhaps that is what caused the elevated Glucose and Amylase levels. The Vet will test her on Monday again and I will be asking about the fasting/eating.

Mango seems far more energetic this morning and slept through the night...... not so the case with her Mama
. I kept waking up and shining a torch around her to see if she had vomited again. YIPPEE! no vomit and this moring she seems so much more perky than last night.
Mango sends lotsa kisses back to the boys and big hugs to their Mommy for her sage advice

EDIT: I have one more important question for you: Is it possible that an incident like this can cause permanent damage to her Pancreas???
