Animal Smiley 019 $300 later, and just the beginning....

Just got back from the vet. Everyone's responses were EXACTLY things that my vet mentioned. They ran a bunch of tests on her. We will get the results tomorrow. They wanted to do X-rays as well but I decided to see what these other tests show first, and then if they don't show anything, go back for X-rays.

Lola has had a bunch of stomach problems, so the vet said it could possibly be pancreatitis Also, since she scoots her bum on the ground, they tested her anal glands as well. I just learned that when they scoot their bums on the ground, you need to take them to the vet right away because they're anal glands are bothering them. That's so interesting, I never knew. He's not sure if that's what was causing it though.

He said the behavior is definitely of a dog that is showing discomfort, so we will just keep trying to figure out what's going on. He also mentioned seizures, but I think it might be her tummy. Also, she definitely has luxating patellas, but he didn't seem to think that was what was causing it.

I'm SOOO glad you guys told me to go to the vet!! This whole time, I was just thinking I had a severely anxious dog, and had NO idea that it could be something more serious!! I just hope we can diagnose the problem, and help her. I know pancreatitis is very serious, and I am praying it's not that!!

Yorkiekids - She DOES make a lot of sounds in her sleep. I'm not sure if they're nightmares, but I always think they are, so I gently start petting her, and trying to make her feel safe. Why?? Is this a sign of something??
