I don't have any answers yet, but I keep trying to research what exactly is wrong with Elle, besides the pancreatitis.
Here is what the Teaching Animal Vet said what the ultrasound showed:

An ultrasound was performed on Elle. Her left and right kidneys are dilated at the renal pelvis (where the urine exits the kidney). The renal pelvis of the right kidney is midly irregular and mineralization is present. The pancreas is focally inflamed and is compressing one of the bile ducts causing gall bladder to become distended. This is likely the cause of Elle's increased bilirubin and may be contributing to her increased liver enzymes.

ASSESSMENT::

Based on Elle's clinical signs and diagnostic findings, she is likely suffering from pancreatitis. Other possibilities discussed were a mass that could be compressing the bile ducts or causing a mucous plug that is causing bile to backup into the gall bladder.


I'm still so lost on why she has mineralization in her liver and kidneys. An xray showed it in her liver..
I'm having such a hard time with this, as I'm sure you can tell. I miss Elle sooooo much, and I can't lose her. I'm so emotional now, I have no idea how I would handle it if I get bad results tommorrow. I'm so scared! I just have this terrible feeling in my gut that the labs are going to come back unchanged or even worse. And i'm petrified to even look at the repeat xray.
I keep posting on here, cause you all care so much about your babies, as I do mine.Elle, has my heart, and I would never be able to replace her. Sure, I care about my other yorkies, but Elle and I have that bond that cant be forgotten. I love her so darn much! I can't lose her, and I'm scared I'm going to.
