Unfortunately, I do not know all things yorkie or all things dogs or vets. I have had Princess for less than 1.5 yrs., my first dog ever, & am doing everything within my power, capability & knowledge to provide for her. I am in no way perfect & not even hinting I am anything close. The situation I am in during this particular time is being handled the best way I can make it. I do trust this vet. Below is her website & some reviews I found as well. We saw Dr. Smitley.
When we spoke of a bland diet like boiled chicken & rice I asked if there was something I could sub the rice for since she wont eat it, that is when she said yes, I could use cottage cheese. Then she said she would also send home the I/D. She said she did want her to eat today since her stomach was so empty, so much vomiting & so long since something was held down. What I did based on that conversation is try the I/D, she ate a bit & held it down, was asking for food, when I gave it back to her she turned her nose up so I gave the cottage cheese. It wasn't a whirlwind decision to just see whatever she could eat. She did also say that fasting after a pancreatic attack as they used to do has not proven to be any more beneficial than offering food, esp. in smaller breeds. Of course, I cannot prove/verify that, just going by what she said.
They will be calling to check on her tomorrow, I will bring them UTD on everything that's went on since I left there as well as inquiring about the blood panel & see what she says. If anyone has anything they'd like to add by all means feel free to express it.
I read tons of books, watched dvd's, talked to other dog owners & have spent countless hours on YT reading whatever I could find. Apparently I did not spend enough time in this thread, probably because I thought Princess was healthy so far so I would not have to worry about something like this. All I can do is learn & go from there. There's no taking back anything, even as recent as an appt. 7 hours ago. I am doing the best that I can & Princess is improving a lot from Tues. when this nightmare began.
