Switching gears, will be thinking & praying for your little Maxine, this Thursday... |
You and I use the same vets and I can guarantee you they did consider pancreatitis but in that her lipase and amylase were normal probably ruled it out. I believe you requested the CPL which is specific for pancreatitis but they probably did not do it originally since the first thing they would normally do is basic testing.
You are fortunate to have good vets! I know you know that. I just wanted to clarify that they would never overlook that possibility.
