I think if he is feeling this way maybe take him in and wait for first available squeeze in as that is what I would do just sit and wait and this way they can do some blood work and see what is going on. If you can take a stool sample in that would be good too- just pick up sample and put in baggie put in fridge until you leave for vet. Also ask vet if they have snap cpli test in house so you can get pancreas results quickly as otherwise labs take a little while to come back on cpli longer than other blood testing for some reason at least that has always been the case when they were done for dex. Maybe they are quicker now though.
I am glad you are taking him in always better to be safe
I get his food from vet purina ha but first you need to see what is going on as could be high fat content in hot dog but usually it happens right away not 3 days later. yorks can have high fat content in blood naturally (high triglycerides) thus leaving them open to pancreatitis. My dex has high triglycerides on 12 hr fasting blood work so this is why we feel also he is prone to pancreatitis. I caution anyone whose york has this to have their dog on low fat diet and no fatty acid supplements.
Purina ha is 8% fat but first you need to know what is going on so let us know and we can further help you
