The symptoms you are describing can be due to the stomach ache related to colitis. They may do some liver and pancreatic enzymes to form a diagnosis. Since these episodes are happening every 2-3 weeks, he should definitely be seen by the vet. Sounds like its becoming more a chronic than an acute problem.
By the way, I noticed that his last WBCs were elevated; that can be common with these problems. |
yes pancreatitis they will have high wbc, amylase and lipase (but that is variable) so cpli is best to have done for accuracy.
I missed the cheese? No cheese too high in fat
He is eating grass as he is trying to make himself vomit
It is good we are catching this all now before this spins out of control though
into a pancreatitis attack - it is not fun dealing with pancreatitis as i almost lost my dex to this 4 years ago and took me a year to get him on track and thousands of dollars too. He has been doing well for 4 years now thank goodness
