I took Bailey to the Vet today because he was acting weird. He wouldn't eat, take treats and he was shaking. He's been having diarreah on/off for 2 weeks now. When I took him to the ER vet, they did blood work on him and compared it with his last 3 sets of blood work. They said that a lot of his levels were elevated and that he has Pancreatitis . They put him on an antibiotic for his IBD called Metronidazole 250mg (1/2 pill a day). They also put IV fluid under his skin (subcutaneous fluid). His stool was FINALLY better tonight, BUT this makes me so sad. Can someone tell me what Pancreatitis is? The vet did explain it to me, but I was in a state of shock and I had just broken my finger right before I took him to ER so I'm a little confused as to what this all means now. Any input would be helpful! Thanks!!!
