Linda (LadyJane) is the absolute voice of wisdom. Listen to everything she says very carefully. I'll just re-emphasize a couple of things she said:

(1) Absolutely no people food--it could be causing her the problems she's having, and it could end up killing her. Please tell your husband this, and if he doesn't believe it, show him our posts.

(2) Continuity of treatment is important. Be sure to follow all of the recommendations of all of the vets, and make sure that all of the vets know what the other vets are doing and thinking.

(3) The two most likely issues your dog is experiencing at this point are IBD and/or pancreatitis. It sounds like the vets are doing the proper diagnostics and treatment. Please stick with it.

(4) Your vets should be able to handle the situation, but if you feel that they can't, don't be afraid to ask for a referral to an internal medicine specialist.

(5) Get a print out of all of the diagnostics and medicines for your own records, and so you can share information with us. Don't try to rely on your memory only. It's easy to forget things when you're upset.
