| I am very concerned. Gizmo did not eat much today...only about two tablespoons of food in the morning and then nothing the rest of the day. I have a doc appt tomorrow but I think I need to cancel it and go spend some time with Gizmo. Poor little guy might be upset about being there. Last time he did ok but I did visit with him. I think it does mean a lot to them. It is just that he is so frail to begin with...just really has me worried. I know it is early on but I was hopeful it was caught early and he would be out of there quickly.

| Poor Gizmo. Praying he does better today, Monday. It's such a tough thing needing to be in the hospital, but also needing the comfort of home and mom.

While stress can be factor, I don't think you need to worry that a single grooming session will put Tibbe at risk. What I was thinking when I wrote that it worries me is that Teddy is my little oddball compared to my Tonka truck Max. Hard to explain, but I wouldn't be surprised if Teddy was diagnosed someday with pancreatitis.

| He's likely wondering where you are and just not as sure as he could be he's entirely safe and secure. A visit for a good swatch of time and take him his favorite blankie or cuddle toy or an old t-shirt of yours might perk him right up and remind him of his home, give him hope. He'd likely take his food from your hand and eat something, too. If you can R/S that appt., I believe I'd try to do it and spend some time with a little boy who might be feeling a bit alone. I'll be praying tomorrow is a good day for him and that you two can get to spend some time together.

I wonder if an acutely stressful grooming session adversely affects MVD the same way it could affect pancreatitis? I don't think I've ever read of it but just wondered. Because I think Tibbe might not like being groomed by a stranger with a clipper but on the other hand, he loves going to the vet & doesn't seem to mind shots, rectal temperatures, nail clipping, blood drawing or anything they do to him there. He's totally amped to be there and not stressed except by his excitement. He whines and leans forward to get in the door! But he's never scared, frightened or anxious acting there.

| Jeanie, Maybe use a mobile groomer or one that will groom him in your home. That way he's not in a cage with a bunch of barking dogs around him all day.

Does you vet's office offer grooming services? That would be ideal. If not, explain to the groomer your personal situation and ask if they would be willing to do a scheduled appointment that wouldn't require you to sit and wait for a long time. Or as Kathy suggested, use a mobile groomer. Stress and diarrhea -- that is what happened to Teddy when my brother visited.

| Hoping Gizmo is doing better today. Maybe his pancreas needed a bit more R&R... Jeanie: You can always request a scissor cut for Tibbe if he doesn't care for the clippers. And tell them he has a sensitive tummy when he gets upset, and if they could schedule during a quieter time of day.

| Checking in for any news on little Gizmo. I hope he's been able to eat today, bless his heart. So hopeful he's better by now and still praying for him.

| Don't want to hi-jack Linda's thread about poor Gizmo so I will check out the groomer at the vet's office and see about being there while he's groomed. He's never been to a groomer before so this would be his first time. He loves all people that I okay for him and loves visiting and going out and about to the vet and stores, etc., so I don't THINK he'll be that bad but I don't want him unduly stressed by the clippers and come home ill or anxiety-ridden and maybe getting diarrhea. Hopefully the vet groomer can help us out. Thanks, ya'll and sorry, Linda.
