So good to hear that she is better.  |
I have always been told the lipase and amylase have to both be up to be pancreatitis though. Also have been told they are not super accurate anyway as dex was all over the place with those when he was sick and was getting me frustrated as they were normal when he was sick and high when he was feeling better. Dee Dee always has high lipase on blood work but has not had pancreatitis and on steroids. Dex has high lipase and high triglycerides on last blood work too so maybe high lipase is normal in this breed as well since both my yorks have it on their blood work each time and why prone to pancreatitis as lipase is the enzyme that digests fats- just a thought as i question it everytime it shows up as dd has blood work twice a year and dex once a year and each time it shows up elevated where as demi does not have this and she is a maltese
