I just took Sissy in for a check-up and had them re-run the bloodwork from her original diagnose last fall. Her original lipase level was 1042 - now it is up to 1677  !!! The vet wants to start her on Reglyn and re-test in 6 months. I'm concerned as she is showing absolutely no symptoms right now.
She is already on a low-fat diet!!!! |
We didn't retest the lipase because even if it was still up, the better test for pancreatitis is the Spec cPL which was perfectlly normal. With that being normal, there is really no reason to do anything else right now (except watch tha fat and make sure she doesn't have another acute case).
Did Sissy have more extensive pancreas blood work done before?
Before treating based on a lipase level, I would go with the Spec cPL and then decide...
