I don’t know if Peanut just had a really mild case of it- when the Vet felt his belly he said it felt good, I saw the test and it was Positive for Pancreatitis. It had 2 dots and one of the dots was darker than the other- Peanut wasn’t showing any symptoms that your babies had- He did throw up and has really bad diarrhea Sat Morning, he was acting sickish since he ate that Texas Toothpick, but it was on and off- Really strange! |
Was the test they gave peanut called a
lipase snap? Im assuming it is since you said 2 dots. When Bella was first Diagnosed she also vomited and had the poops pretty bad, majorly dehydrated had to stay in Hosp.
She actually was pooping blood. bad. Now I catch it before she even knows she has it lol. Like I said she just cant get comfy and I know its coming. The goal in all this is to try and NOT make the pancreas have to work. so easily digested foods are key. You would be surprised foods that are hard to digest.
Dogs, being carnivores have no digestive enzymes in their saliva like an omnivore does so for them digestion does not and can not begin in the mouth. When our dogs are fed a cooked diet or diet with grains and vegetables in it, the pancreas gets over stimulated and overworked and in turn becomes inflamed. The inflammation itself can activate the digestive enzymes before they’re released in the intestines which can result in triggering the process of “self digestion”. The enzymes from the inflamed pancreas can also leak out in the abdominal cavity and damage the abdominal lining and other organs which only serves to add to a serious and often life-threatening situation.
