I didn't mean to say that pancreatitis would be entirely out of the question, and I just think that having no history of it it's not a good idea to scare her owner and keep water away from her. It could very well just be a digestive upset. The electrolyte thing is why I previously recommended pedialyte. All I'm saying is that when you have no choice but to sit home and monotor symptoms, you should'nt immediately keep the dog from water. There's no real reason to think it pancreatitis... so I think it's a little premature to base care off of that.
