AW, THANK YOU! He's been ultra-rotten this week with all the extra loving. But that's OK. Why have them if you can't spoil 'em?
Poor, Giz. I hate to see any creature of any species go through this even once. And pancreatitis is ugly, too. Oz has dealt with that occasionally and our first Yorkie got it regularly during his last year of life.
Once I had some time to spend on the site yesterday, I DID find someone who had been down the road more than once. She said she had been given extra Flagyl or its generic, Metrinadazole, to treat when her baby has diarrhea as a precursor to an emergency visit. It's my understanding that this drug works as both an antibiotic AND an anti-inflammatory. It doesn't sound like she has had the opportunity to try it. (And for her and her baby, I hope she never has to!)
THAT made me feel loads better since our vet did the very same thing. I hope we never have to find out either.
Right now, we are holding our breath waiting for Oz to poop. He's been eating really well, so if he doesn't go today, we'll have to call the doctor. (This is day 3 since he's been home.) I remember how scared I was last time waiting for this. You know you need to get a life when you're obsessed with a dog's bowel movements.
