Is this related with the IBD?

yes could be how long has he been on that food? yorkies are known for sensitive stomachs

Yikes! I could tell you a long story about my Daisy........ it relates to SD and acid reflex and sodium intolerance. Shot of the story once I changed her food hey symptoms were not as severe. Daisy came from a puppy mill. Sad to say we had no knowledge of pet stores when my daughter bought her. We spent lots of money on her and we were clueless on what we were doing wron, but to make short of the story SD was one of the first things we changed and it made an incredible difference in her life!!

I called in a vac. day tomorrow to take him to the vet. I am going to Pet smart and get another food. Any suggestions on canned food that isn't complete mush? Rosco likes it chunky. He is still shaking today, more so on the back part of body. He's not going to like it, but he needs a bath. Will let you know what the vets says tomorrow. Oh, and I gave him some Nutra Stat. Thanks

Took Rocso to the vet this morning. They did bloodwork and x-ray. The x-ray showed some small pieces of something in his stomach. The only thing I can think of is last week when we got home from work there was pieces of window blinds on the floor. They must of ate some of them. His blood work results were ALT 170. The vet thinks it was on the high side because she thought the blinds were irrating his belly. AMYL 497 which was low. She said she only worries if it is high. What does that mean being a little low? She gave me some medicine for Rosco called DENOSYL to clean out his liver. Is this medicine safe?

Poor Rosco, I am so sorry he ate those darn blinds. Well at least you are on the right track. I don't know anything about blood levels but maybe someone that does will post soon big hugs to rosco and I will be praying for him.

I googled this information in the drugDenosyl

I also went to Petsmart and got Natures Recipe dry and canned lamb & rice since SD canned isn't good for him. I looked at the Purino plan lamb and rice but it had fish meal in it and I didn't know if it had the stuff in it (not for sure had to spell it) Exthiquion?

[Mysweetbabies]

I hope Debbie can give me some insight on the bloodwork. She knows her stuff. I really appreciate you helping me with Rosco discover chicken irritates his bowel movements. Hope to hear from you soon.

[Mysweetbabies]

Rosco seems to be getting back to his old self again I am still curious though about his his blood work results on his AMYL being a little on the low side. I have been researching the internet and all I find is sites about it being too high. I will just keep looking.

denosyl is sam-e and milk thistle is marin - marin cleanses the liver and denosyl rejuvenates it - has your dog had a bile acid test? If not with high alt i recommend this

The amylase and lipase are indicators of the pancreas - lipase digests fats and amylase digests starch - i would not be too alarmed with amylase off if lipase is not off as they tend to go hand in hand in diagnosing pancreatitis as a preliminary test then cpli is most accurate

hmm the blind issue that is tough was it hard plastic? I am dealing with an issue today as dex has been vomitting alot he vomitted off and on from 5:45 am to 11 am so trying to manage it but he got into the packing peanuts and ate one so hoping this did not cause a blockage but he pooped perfect this morning so just hoping it is an upset stomach which he does not tend to get fingers crossed
