So odd! I am sorry you are still puzzled by Tibbe's symptoms.

I really don't have much to add - but I know when Jackson was initially diagnosed with pancreatitis after lots of vomit, which then turned into diarrhea, the only thing they went off of was that his lipase levels were high. After that whole ordeal, when I spoke to our regular vet about it, she told me it's nearly impossible to diagnosis pancreatitis based solely on lipase levels - as a lipase being high can mean so many things, and sometimes it can just be normal for it to be a bit higher on a dog and since his CPL test came back negative, she felt secure saying he probably did not even have pancreatitis.

But the limping confuses me... as I feel like that was probably a whole 'nother issue?? So odd!

I'm hoping Tibbe gets well soon.
