My baby might not make it :'(
 

My nightmare started last Saturday. My oldest yorkie, Elle, who is 6 yrs old, was throwing up and wouldn't eat. She almost seemed to be constipated, so I thought that was what was wrong with her. She didn't seem to get any better over the weekend, so I rushed her to the vet. She had a temp of 104.? and the vet ran some labs. Her liver enzymes were in the 2,300's. They kept her overnight and put her on fluids and medicine. I got to pick her up the next evening, and she seemed a little better, but not back to her old self. I followed the bland diet that I was told to feed her, and continue with her liver medicine etc..The following day I called the vet back, cause she was getting worse again. I could tell she was in pain, and once again, I rushed her to the vet. They ran her labs again, and they came back worse. Her tummy was very tight and painful, so they did an xray, and thats where my biggest fear came true. They found large amounts of calcium deposits in her, and thought they found a tumor. I was devistated. They needed to confirm by doing an ultrasound. So we drove 2 hours away, and met with the vet there, and later diagnosed her as having PANCREATITIS. But this vet can't explain the calcium deposits. Her bile duct is filled with thick bile and they have her on meds to thin it out. She is hooked up to IV's as we speak, and if I can be totally honest, I don't think I have ever been in so much pain and grief than I am right now. My vet is not very optimistic about her outcome, due to the amount of calcium deposits, her liver enzymes, and the pancreatitis causing everything to be inflamed. I can't even begin to say how much this is killing me. If anyone has a similar case, please share any info. I want to save my lil girl. She is to young to be taken away from me!! Either respond on here, or call or text me. 217-617-5983. I'm desperate to save her! Thanks, Kim

I am so sorry you are going through this I know how painful it is to see them like this :(. I wish I could help but I don't have any experience with this. I will be praying very hard that she makes a full recovery. God bless.

Praying for your girl...

sending prayers for you sweet baby.

I'm so sorry about Elle. When you are talking about the calcium deposits, are you speaking of hypercalcemia?

My prayers are with Elle.

I wish to God I could be of help to you and your little baby...I am heartbroken for you....I hope someone is able to call and give you some direction or advice, and I am praying for your little Elle.

OMG! I am so sorry!! My heart just breaks for you...keeping you and your little one in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry....will keep you and your little Elle in my thoughts and prayers.

My heart is breaking for you and your baby...I'm am praying she makes a full recovery.

So sorry, sending lots of prayers for you and your baby..

You and your precious Ella are in my thoughts and prayers!!!!

Have you been feeding her any doggy treats ? and if yes are they from China ? if yes , STOP now & tell your vet ASAP. I have no advice but I would probably want my pup at a teaching hospital at this point. I will be Praying for Elle & hope she makes a full & speedy recovery.

Sending healing thoughts your way.

Good thoughts and prayers for Ella

I have been doing alot of research about the pancreatitis. We did a couple of things wrong right away, which has made this alot worse. Before being diagnosed with it, we still continued to feed her. Even though it was a bland diet, she shouldn't have been feeding her at all. And she should have been on the IV fluids longer. They just did it cause she was dehydrated. Now, that we know whats going on, we are doing everything right, but is it too late? and we still can't explain the calcium deposits all over in her tummy. (i can't remember exactly where they were located, I'll ask the vet again today) Like I said in my first post, my vet isn't very optimistic about her recovery. I took her to a teaching hospital in Columbia Mo, which is two hours away from me. They did want to keep her there, but I told them no, since my vet can do the same thing they can do. The vet that is working with Elle now, is a very knowledgeable vet. She isnt the vet I first seen when I took Elle the first time. (or else we would have caught this sooner) But I know she is recieving the best care, and the staff just loves Elle. She is so cute, I dont know why you wouldnt love her. I have cried so much that I dont even put makeup on my eyes anymore. It's so hard to focus on anything, cause all I think about is her. I have 2 other yorkies and a bulldog. I love all my dogs, but this paticular one is MY baby, and we have this strong connection, that I cant explain. So it makes it even harder for me to deal with. I dont want her to suffer, and i know if this doesnt improve, i will have to make the decision that I never wanted to make. I can tell you it will kill me, if it goes that route. so please pray for my lil girl. I can't imagine life without my lil sweetie. I would miss her gentle kisses, her loving demeanor, and my best friend!!

So sorry to hear about your baby. Your baby is in my prayers.

Here are some updated pics of my lil girl, Elle:love:

Elle is adorable
