| What are you feeding her and what are her treats, Laci had a bout of pancratitis around her age and did the drooling, loose bowl movements. I think it was from a bully stick. I used a low fat food for about 6 months, she is fine now. Hope all is well!

YT 3000 Club Member | low fat food nothing fatty for the pancreatitis, she will probably on a bland diet for a fre days after all of this, baby food works make sure it is the kind with no onion powder in it, chester was on that after gastroenteritis last year for no reason, boiled chicken and rice as well good luck with your baby |

| Aww, hopefully she starts feeling better and can come home. Pancreatitis, especially a mild, acute case, is usually caused by treats or table scraps. Like others said, they'll probably give you a low-fat diet suggestion or possibly instructions for low-fat home-cooking for a few days. For the future, be carefull what treats you give - NOTHING from the grocery store (things like beggin strips, snasages etc. bad bad bad all the way around). Also, I know ALOT of people who like to give their dogs the cut off fat or skin from chicken or other meat (a relative of mine just called me this Fri. describing symtoms her Beagle-mix was having that sounded like mild pancreatitis, sure enough, they had given her the fat from their steaks the night before)- BAD, especially for a Yorkie or other tiny dog. Cheese - very common "treat", not good (although a low-fat cheese will be ok for most dogs, but only in small amounts and not too frequently). Just today, my aunt was about to give her Yorkie some skin from her chicken and I grabed her arm and made her give him a bit of the breast meat instead lol. Good luck, I hope you hear that Veruca is all better by tomorrow

| Veruca update So the vet called to say that Veruca hasn't had any vomiting or diarrhea overnight and is holding down tiny bits of food. If she continues to do well she can come home later today. The vet said she'd call back around 2p. So hopefully, I'll get my cutie back later today :-) |

| Veruca is home & doing great! Hi everyone, Thank you for all your kind thoughts and messages. I brought Veruca home and aside from a shaved leg (her IV) she looks great! She is acting more normal and was excited to see all her friends in our building. And she pottied normally outside :-) Veruca's plan is: 2 days of Hill's prescription i/d Gastrointestinal diet (4 little meatballs that I rolled up every 6 hrs), if no vomiting/diarrhea wean back to normal food Purina FortiFlora supplement sprinkled over her food 1x/day for 30 days Cerenia 16mg (1/4 tablet 1x/day for 3 days) She was hungry for her dinner and is now sleeping comfortably. :-) |
