Kidney failure and acute pancreatitis - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

When Baby Chloe was ill, she didn't want to eat either. I found that I had to hand feed every bite to her. I gave her El Pollo Loco chicken often near the end. It was really the only thing she liked. She also ate a lot of Yorkie Yummies. Big ((hugs)) from us!!

My boy, Sammie, also has kidney and liver disease. I found this web site very informative. I know how heartbreaking it is when they don't eat..Give this site a look. K9KidneyDiet : K9KidneyDiet

I will say lots and lots of prayers for your little fur baby. She is the same age as my Winnie. You just want to kiss them and make them all better. You are a great mommy caring so much.

I've heard of a few others on here who have had pups with pancreatitis and I believe they recommended this holistic vet.
Holistic Veterinarian Pet Nutritionist Holistic Pet Care

She's supposed to be quite good and has helped. She does phone interviews as well. I've never consulted with her myself but I think maybe it's worth a try!

From one Sophie lover to another, I am sending you a hug.

sweet_pea · 04-18-2009, 05:50 PM

I feel at this point anything I can get her to eat is worth it. Today has been a tough day. Thanks for your help.

sweet_pea · 04-18-2009, 05:54 PM

We actually have a great vet not too far from me. His name is Dr. Shawn Messonnier. You might have heard of him. I'm going to call his office on Monday. I'm grasping at straws now.

My heart goes out to you. I have been in your shoes. Just keep trying to feed what she will eat and drink. Sometimes just chicken broth or vegatable broth no salt would be good warmed...Let us know

Thank you for that link. I have submitted to join that group.

I'm sorry you are going through this with your baby.
I was like you with my late JULZ, grabbing at straws to get her to eat ANYTHING...towards the end i fixed her cream of wheat and oatmeal i made it VERY soupy for her. That lastest for a few weeks...
I wish you the best and sending you hugs...

sweet_pea · 04-20-2009, 06:25 PM

Thanks! Sophie is doing a little better. Her energy picked up a bit and she is eating some. I suppose the 3 meds she's taking may be helping her feel better. She hates all 3 of them and I have to hold her down to give them to her. If she can have some days where she feels pretty good then that makes me very happy.

PANAMA69 · 04-20-2009, 09:12 PM

So sorry about your little one, glad that she is doing a little better. Hugs

Fashionlady · 04-21-2009, 06:41 PM

My Baby name is sophie also. she as pacreitis too. i'm taking her sat to the internal vet. right now I'm feeding her boil chicken breast with brown rice and raw carrot(very small pieces. i put them in the magic bullet) and she seems to keep that down without any problems. and she loves it!! i hope you baby gets better. i know how you feel. When my sophie as a day when it's bad i feel helpless. All i can do is watch. and try to help her. It took me months to find out what was wrong and now we are going to have the scope done to see if there are any other problems. she only 2/12.
