He was diagnosed with pancreatitis, and Yoda got an abdominal ultrasound today that showed bladder and kidney stones. He got more IV fluids, medications for pancreatitis and pain control today. We will focus on the pancreatitis first, then see what the options are for the bladder and kidney stones. It would be very painful if he had to pass it himself, the other option the vet said would be surgery to remove them... 
He is due back tomorrow for more monitoring, and hopefully tomorrow will be the last day at the vet during the day.
Thanks for your continued support for our little guy, each and every prayer and good thought is sincerely appreciated! |
ok that is why the liver was of concern as there are stones. You are correct getting the pancreas under control is key as that is more critical. Stones usually come from a high protein diet
and why dogs with liver disease have stones as they cannot process proteins very well and why they are on a low protein diet. Pepcid ac is used (famotidine) is another name to control the stomach acids in the stomach. Are they putting him on an iv all day with antibiotics as the wbc is high as there is infection that goes along with this disease. I really think the diet was the culprit
especially since stones and pancreatitis
I hope he feels better real soon
