Thank you for the update - this post has had me worried all night.

Hugs from Missouri!

Pancreatitis - we had it once last year. Bailey had to stay overnight at the vets (on IV fluids). It was the longest night ever! I know the vets must have thought I was a crazy mom. I visited Bailey 4 times. They had her zombied up too. I brought her toys and a quilt so that she had some things that smelled like home.

The next afternoon, Bailey ate a very small amount and kept it down, then we brought her home. We were instructed to feed her small portions of low fat bland food. So, I made up a batch of chicken and rice (50/50). She did good for two days, then threw up again. I called the vet, and was told to wait and try again at the next feeding. She kept it down. She threw up one more time and that was the last time. I had given her a bully stick too soon (my bad )

After a week of chicken 'n rice - I alternated her regular food and the chicken 'n rice for another week. The 3rd week- we went back to her regular diet - then eventually added in bully sticks as a snack. Havent had another episode since.

Now my story is about an acute pancreatitis. We had one incident and recovered. Some yorkies (and you will know in time) have chronic pancreatitis which requires constant supervision of their diet.

Good luck and please keep us posted.
