I've seen some medical art showing a rendering of an inflamed pancreas and it looks angry, swollen and painful! Do they typically treat the dogs for pain symptoms too? There I go on pain again but I so hate to think about dogs hurting with conditions that humans get pain rx for and it seems the subject of pain is almost never mentioned in so many treatments of dogs' various problems. Thanks again for all of the info. |
I think they do in the immediate moment, but I forget for sure. The link I gave has a picture of an inflamed pancreas. It does look painful and I know they do have abdominal pain. They also give an antibiotic for secondary infections. They used to give a pancreatic supplement for daily use, but I don't know if they still do this.
