His poor stomach hurt so bad. The vet touched his abdomen and he yelped. Also, blood came out on the thermometer when he took his temp. X-rays came back okay, no blockage or anything. Bloodwork showed high levels of a few things (liver was fine) but he was really dehydrated. I may have forgot the paper at the vets so I will know the exact stuff tomorrow as I don't know the proper wording. I was too much of a mess when I was leaving there. I've never left him overnight anywhere except my dads house... I cried when I got into my car It's so weird here without him... but I know he is getting better so I feel like he is in good hands. |
I'm sorry Brit. I know it is so upsetting to leave them but this is the best for pancreatitis in my opinion. I had to leave Barney for 4 days the first time he had it and the second time we took him home but it was easier on him in the hospital. Going forward I'd reconsider high fat kibbles or treats like bully sticks. Pancreatitis gets worse each time and it is best to try to avoid it.
