So now i'm confused- did she ever HAVE pancreas problems if both the lab results and ultrasound results came back fine? Could BOTH our vet and their outside lab have produced wrong results? The only indication Layla has that she might have a pancreas issue is she can't handle oil supplements.

Should i continue her on the supplements she was on for pancreatitis? (lipase)

I am feeling very confused.
When you had the tests done, was she on the supplements?

My only response to you is that it is always wise to get a 2nd opinion. If they don't offer the same results, and you're confused, maybe a 3rd maybe in order.
