And, honestly, from what I have learned these pups need 24 hour IV fluids when they have pancreatitis.
I am sure there are specialists in your area...you can search here: American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine > Home
Your pup has been sick for some time now and I would not be comfortable letting it go another day to be perfectly frank. |
