Watch Rosie closely. When dogs develop pancreatitis, they become lethargic and depressed, their tummies will often distend and be painful to the touch, and they'll often vomit and have diarrhea. If she begins acting sick, call a vet right away.
I hope everything turns out okay for you and your girlie.  |
The thing about pancreatitis, is it usually doesn't happen right now, sometimes it can take a few years. My friends 6 year old yorkie got pancreatitis, but, it wasn't until she was 5, and they were bad about giving her table food for the first 2-3 years of her llife, then they stopped, but, the dog still got it a couple years later
