Yep, has not been a good week at all for Mango. I could not believe how much came out of such a little dog. The one good thing though, was that she still behaved like her usual demented little self, except during those periods when she was throwing up.
I swear Ronda, I have no idea how you went through your trauma with Teddi, which was so much worse than Mango's; watching my baby girl vomiting like that just about tore my heart out.
I miss you guys, we need a visit!

Kathy,
Hi girlfriend! I just wish I knew why the stress of the spay brought on a re-occurrence of the Pancreatitis. I don't know what I would have done without the advice I found here and with the Nutritionist. It's amazing how clueless so many Vets can be.
Big hugs to you and Winston,
Lauren

Lauren, I have no idea why this had to happen to sweet little Mango...but I'm just so relieved you had others here to offer wonderful advice and it seems as though Mango will be okay. Please give your little pumpkin a special hug and maybe an extra kiss from Winston and I. Oh, and hugs to you too!!!

I had a consultation today with the most amazing lady by the name of Susan Davis. We spoke for an hour; she analyzed every single aspect of Mango's health records and diet, basically from when I adopted her. Very thorough lady this.
She has taken Mango off the Raw diet completely, but I should add she is a huge fan of this. However, for Mango, it is not possible for her to digest in the immediate future.
One really happy note and co-incidence. I was given the referral to Susan by a lady who lives near me(Corinne on YT), in Calif. When I was talking to Susan, I asked her about diet suggestions I had received here on YorkieTalk, specifically the "white fish, white potato" diet recommended to my by Anne, (Wylie's Mom). As soon as I mention the diet description, the nutritionist says "Hmmmm sounds like the one I gave to a member on YT....her UserName is "Wylie's Mom", do you know of her?" Well I said, "DUH! and OMG! Who do you think I go to for nutritional advice in the first place?" Anne, bless her, had been giving me advice all of this week, having no clue that the appointment I had today was with the very same lady that had treated her little Marcel. What an amazingly small world! Anyway, that gave me even more confidence in my choice of Nutritionist.

So now I start tonight with the new diet, watch and wait to see if my baby can keep it down. She has only had mash potatoes for the last 3 days, poor thing. She gobbled it right up, which is a great sign, fussy eater that she is.
Thanks for the concern; it is so very much appreciated,
Lauren

P.S. I have learned one important lesson here. The average Vet knows frighteningly little about nutrition!! The diet is key in not only the cure, but prolonging a healthy life as well. Vet prescribed medication is not even half the cure.

Was the raw diet to much for her with the pancreatitis?
What were Mangos lipase and amylase levels?

I heard great things about Susan Davis also!!! From Wylie's Mom :-)
I am trying to get my schedule in order so that I could call her for diet info too!!! Did you talk to her Friday evening? just curious bc a Friday evening would be great for me to talk to her. I am usually home by 7pm on fridays. My work schedule is crazy and I never know until that day what time I will be home. I don't want to book with her and then have to cancel.

I hope you and Mango are doing better today!!!!!

I have an appointment with a Nutritionist tomorrow. She is associated with an excellent holistic Vet I was referred to. I hope she has answers for us because I have countless questions. I simply have to find the reason why my little girl suddenly seems incapable of keeping down her food. And somehow, I feel the need for "ammunition" to educate my own Vet.

Thank goodness for so many other Yorkie lovers who love their babies as much as I do.

Her weight has dropped, and I am still very worried about her. I am waiting for a return call from a Holistic Vet, for another opinion.
Hugs,
Lauren

When my Sadie was vomiting a lot they told me to give her 1/4 of a pepcid ac. This stopped the vomiting completely and calmed her stomach. have they suggested to give anything to help with that?

I hope she will be feeling better!!!! And you too, It's so hard not to worry.
We will be thinking of you!!! Sending lots of hugs toooooooo.....
