| Poor little guy. You can hear his tummy making loud noises, like gas & could all night. He was restless, couldn't sleep much at all. Waiting to hear back from vet we saw yesterday. Maalox is all that will stop those noises - I pray the 2 doses of 1/2 cc. each since last night won't hurt him but at least he got a quiet tummy & a bit of rest after those doses. I pray I did the right thing - could find nothing too dire against it on the Internet & vet used to okay it for Jilly occasionally. He's had his nausea medication this a.m. but he won't eat or drink so am syringing water in his mouth.

| So odd! I am sorry you are still puzzled by Tibbe's symptoms. I really don't have much to add - but I know when Jackson was initially diagnosed with pancreatitis after lots of vomit, which then turned into diarrhea, the only thing they went off of was that his lipase levels were high. After that whole ordeal, when I spoke to our regular vet about it, she told me it's nearly impossible to diagnosis pancreatitis based solely on lipase levels - as a lipase being high can mean so many things, and sometimes it can just be normal for it to be a bit higher on a dog and since his CPL test came back negative, she felt secure saying he probably did not even have pancreatitis. But the limping confuses me... as I feel like that was probably a whole 'nother issue?? So odd! I'm hoping Tibbe gets well soon.

| He was so miserable early this a.m. - we've had no rest. Then, at 9:30 a.m., after turning down his food all yesterday & this a.m., he took a tiny bit of Oroweat Sandwich Thin, ears perked(which I tried since it was something different & he loves the smell of it and he'd been turning down his dry kibble for the last 36 hrs.) So I mixed 2 tablespoons of his new & old kibble in lots of water, heated it in the microwave, cooled it & gave him 1/4 of a plastic Dairy Queen ice cream spoonful of the kibble soup. He slurped it up. We waited 1/2 hour with no nausea or gas or tummy noise & he had 1/2 a DQ spoon of kibble soup with an hour wait after. Tummy feels a bit full but no sounds. Just now, he ate a tablespoon of kibble soup & drank from his water bowl at my urging. Now we wait to see what happens as it tries to digest. I think when I go out for Physical Therapy treatment today, I will go ahead & stop & get the Royal Canin Gastrointestinal food & gradually work that in until he's solely eating that. I hate to leave him alone but am hoping he'll rest. I'll admit I'm a helicopter parent when he's sick so he hopefully will sleep while his worried mommie is gone & off his back for a time. If he is doing badly again when I get back from my 45 minutes at PT & the stop for the food, we're going back to the vet. Britster, thanks for that info. I've followed all your posts about Jackson's issues after the party when he got sick & your posts on any threads about pancreatitis, G-I problems, nutrition so you've given me a great insight into how this can work when most tests are normal but the dog is sick. And the rest of you who've given me help info & prayers & good thoughts - I'm soaking all of those up. They get you through when your dog is miserable & it's the middle of the night. I just pray there is nothing really wrong lurking & this is just a bug that has no second, worse punch or a really mad tummy from something he grazed on outside. Still waiting to hear from the vet once his surgery is over. Tibbe is now sleeping - finally. Thanks, everybody.

| Tibbe is still asleep. Looks like a little angel. I'm so glad he's finally getting some rest - he's really been through it. I pray that this little morning meal will digest well & we won't have to go sit in the Vet's Office all afternoon again today. But I think the fact that he's sleeping must mean he's comfortable. Last night, if he would drift off, suddenly he would jerk awake & get up, walk around, find a new place to lie down a while. So far, this nap is long & he may even be dreaming. His paws are kind of moving & his eyes are rolling under those lids.

| I hope little Tibbe gets better soon. I'm so glad that he showed some improvement and was resting comfortably. You must be worried sick over it. Ashley had IBD late in her life, so I know all about the gurgling sounds in the belly. I'm sending good wishes for your baby's recovery.

| How was Tibbe when you got back from physical therapy. I know how frustrating it is when you want to help them, but you're not sure what's wrong. I'm keeping him in my prayers that he's been eating more and feeling better.

| My Cookie is on prednisone every other day and takes Famotidine (Pepcid) with it to prevent stomach upsets. You might want to speak with your vet about doing that. You might also want to try feeding him Hill's ID or Purina EN...but, of course, ask your vet about that. I have a pup who is now on Purina EN because he just kept having problems with digestion. He is fine now. As for the elevated lipase...I have seen that quite a few times in my pups and it has never meant anything at all. All by itself like that, my vet does not put much into it. Any of them who have had that, have later had labs that were perfectly normal.
