Default UPDATE on Abbie

It is almost 9 AM and Abbie seems to be doing even better this morning.

After reading the above posts and others experiences with pancreatitis I have decided that we will not be going on a walk again until she is 100%. Even though she loved her walk yesterday I realize that she needs to give her body time to recover. She tried to play "keep away" with my husband this morning but I stressed to him that she needed to rest. My husband understands this but it is hard to make Abbie understand

I'm glad to see her up and wagging her cute little nub. No diarrhea since yesterday at 2 PM and still no vomitting. The flagyl and bland diet seem to be doing their job. Last night just before she had her soft stool her little belly was making gaseous/churning noises. They stopped after she went to the bathroom but I can still tell her tummy is a little sore and I'm hoping this will subside soon. I am still supplementing her water intake just to be sure she doesn't dehydrate. Her skin turgor is good, gums are pink and glossy, she is urinating normally, and her cute little black nose is nice and moist

I hope that by keeping a minute by minute play of her condition I am able to help others if they are ever in this situation. I am posting a photo of her Day 1 gelatinous bloody stool (one of the hallmark signs of pancreatitis) versus her soft formed Day 3 stool from last night. When I was in nursing school our instructors used to tell us, "It's all about the poo!" Boy were they ever right!

**Wow, that first picture is scary. I can't believe that came out of my little one**
