Please help !! My dog has diarrhea and vomiting a few times over the past few months.
Had steroids for flea allergy this past summer and once to promote eating after the same problem as now. He eats kibbles n bits but has "treats" of people food everyday. Has always been eating people food along with his dry kibbles. But since this summer when he got treated for flea allergy with prednisone (middle of July), he's had this vomiting, diarrhea problem about 5-8 times. This time and another time, he had blood in his stool. Hes currently on day 2 of illness, vomiting stopped thankfully, still strains though not much comes out now. Gave him reglan as per vets orders that I had on hand. And have been giving Imodium for diarrhea.
Us and vet have attributed it to over eating people food but now
think it might be pancreatitis. He hasn't been diagnosed, this is only an assumption on my part. I read that dogs whove had corticosteroids are more prone to pancreatitis. is that true? Anyone have any similar experience? Is pancreatitis curable? Going to the vet tomorrow and will make sure he checks for this- what exactly should the test include? Any other recommendations of things to do/check for? I've realized kibbles n bits are not best out there and since I plan to overhaul his diet and eliminate people food, I want to change his dry food as well. Any recommendations? He just turned 9 but he has a very young attitude
