They are hungry!! Poodle isn't eating all that well tho. Bichon is doing better. TeddE cries and cries, poor baby. He is on 1/4 c of I/D a day for awhile and ice cubes (along with meds).
I wish I could be certain that Ted DID or DOES have pancreatitis. I wish they would have REPEATED the blood work. All numbers are fine here except the Amyl (2039) and the Lipa (3569), high RBC, high HCT, and high HGB?? Then she did the cPL Snap Test and claims it was abnormal= Positive for pancreatitis.
So, I don't know. My vet says he is unsure of the diagnosis due to Ted NOT vomiting and the white cell count being Normal. The dog acted fine. I almost didn't take him to ER. I was more concerned with Poodle. How can you tell if there is something wrong. The black stool indicates a very irritate intestinal tract and his stomach was inflamed (xray) and that is all. He played, ate, ran around, stole toys, etc. I took him along only because of the black stool. ????
What is the indication or a symptom, if he is not vomiting? His appetite was good. But he was very gassy. ??? Now, I will be running him constantly to have blood work for I will not know. Poodle's blood work was all normal. Did not have Bichon blood work done, he was given subQ fluids and meds for vomiting. I am so confused.

Houston, we have poopoo. I am running it to vet now. Darn TeddE, that's alot of doodoo!!!
