Default Help my baby has Pancreatitis...should I go to the Er vet?

My Cinnamon had been vomiting for about 24 hrs so I took her into the regular vet today. He thought it was a mild case of Pancreatitis and gave her Flagyl and Reglan. He also gave her some fluids as she was dehydrated. Other than vomiting she seemed like her regular self...so far no diarrhea either but hadnt really eaten anything in a day or so. So today after the vet she seemed better all day and then this evening she wanted to eat grass again which always means she wants to vomit.

I gave her the Reglan and hoped that would help, but her stomach is churning like crazy now and she is getting ready to vomit again. Im afraid she wont be able to keep the medications that I gave her down. She took them over an hour ago so hopefully if she vomits soon they will be absorbed. If she cant keep the medication down though how will she get better? Also he gave me some id food and told me to give her a small spoonful tonight, but she wouldnt touch it, which I figured she wouldnt. He also said to only give ice, no water but it is hard to keep her out of any water when I have two other dogs. i am just so worried and wondering is she need to go to the er vet to get iv meds. Her stomach is so loud that i can hear it across the room which is new.
I dont want to overreact...I spent $90 today at the vet...I hate to think of spending more but I also dont want to take chances. If you have been through this before...does it just take awhile to get better?
Should I let her eat grass so she does vomit? It seems to make her feel better but I hate to see it.
Please give me any advice you can.
