with or without Pancreatititis...she's better Back last summer, I came here hoping for help with my sick Yorkie (she's actually a Morkie but, as you can see from her picture, she looks all Yorkie). As a first timer with an itsy bitsy, I was nearly out of my mind trying to keep her alive. There was a question of Pancreatitis as, at one point, her enzymes were through the roof. She was having attacks of vomiting and diarrhea, approx. every 2-3 weeks, that were so bad, she would end up vomiting and pooping POOLS of blood. There were many nights that I worried she would not make it to morning. The extremes I went to well, I'm guessing some people would think me crazy. After countless vets and tests, I finally happened upon a wise, older vet who took a somewhat passive approach. He decided: "let's just say she has a delicate digestive system" and put her on an RX diet of very high fiber dry food with a daily dose of pepcid. OMG, I can not tell you how welcome the transformation has been. Because her little mouth and teeth can't consume enough hard, dry food to keep her weight up, I grind it up and mix it with warm water, like a gruel. After she was stable and to entice her to eat, I add very lean bits of meat on top. It works and, at the time, we have not had an "attack" since November. It's like a miracle. There are several folks here that gave me some very good advise and some very welcome and much needed support. For the first time, I felt I was not alone and there were people who understood just how horrible it is to have a sick baby. Thank you so very much, Judyann and Munchkin |
SO glad you have seen improvement!!! |
OMG...your pictures are wonderful. I'm telling you, these little guys are unbelievable. I don't think I've ever seen such adorable wee ones. Problem is, they are so cute, they get spoiled rotten and you get wrapped around their little paws til they rule you! I notice your Palin comment...good for you! I concur however, the MSM and left loons have been very successful in their trashing and belittling of Gov. Palin. What a shame, she makes Biden look like a fool. Well, hum, I guess Biden doesn't need any help on that score. But she certainly would have been a vast improvement over what we ended up with! Thank you for your kind words. Funny but, my mom has been quite ill, my marriage is falling apart (I have to see an atty tomorrow), and my health has been far from stellar, but all I can say is I am just so grateful that my little one is better. No more blood letting. Thanks again, Judyann |
