My pup had sludge in his gall bladder...determined by a ultrasound. He had elevated liver enzymes and scarring his pancreas, but a lot of that, the vet thought, was due to the sludge in his gall bladder causing problems in those other organs. We've battled with it for a long time....not much vomiting, but loose stool and he wouldn't eat much. He's finally, after a year, starting to have less episodes.

BTW...I went through 2 vets and into a specialist to get my answers.

What you have going on sounds much more complicated. I agree with Lady Jane in that there may be kidney trouble. I would try to get her into a specialist.

Have you read up on the carafate at all??

It looks like your vet is using it to treat an ulcer....but it should be used with caution in patients with Renal Failure. Carafate contains aluminum. If someone is having kidney problems(which elevated BUN and Creatine levels may point to)....they may not be able to excrete the aluminum and they can suffer from toxic aluminum poisoning from taking this. Vomiting is also one of the possible negative side effects from taking the drug.

This may be why you noticed such a change when you started giving her the carafate.

Hopefully you can get your dog into an internist. Please keep us updated on what happens. Praying that Bumble has a quick recovery!!
