Now I'll get kinda gross here. I can tell you in humans (and with my dogs, actually) - that I've seen delayed emptying for more than 24 hours - and I've seen humans vomit what they've had for dinner the next day (ie, some noodles, or whatever, are still in the tummy the next day). So, the tummy can stay quite still at times.
As for whether it's related to pancreatitis, you're wayyyyy more qualified to answer that question than me.  |
Well, I didn't know any of this.
You're so good at this stuff.
So, if amylase is released to digest food and amylase levels are higher in dogs with pancreatitis, it makes me think that under digestion isn't related (because massive amounts of amylase are being released to do that) but overdigesting (the pancreas starts to gets digested in pancreatitis I think) may be??? Hmm, I don't know and she is putting weight on but I don't know why her stomach doesn't feel just right since yesterday. We are cutting back on food now. It sounded like she wanted to throw up last night after eating but didn't. Goodness, I hope this doesn't mean more vet bills.
I think I will just pulled food because it can't hurt at this point and just give Pedialyte.
