Thanks Dina! She looks SO much better this morning. I am about to feed her and am holding thumbs she keeps it down. Yesterday I was quite besides myself - I have never seen Mango sick, and the amount of vomiting she did really scared me....poor baby.
Hugs to you and your babies,
Lauren

Lauren

I am glad things have lightened up ...

I will try to remember Reglan if G-d Forbid there is a next time ...

we have a lot to be grateful for these days .... as long as our babies are okay!

Lauren, I am glad to hear Mango is doing better this morning and hopefully today is a better day for BOTH of you. Sending hugs your way, Linda

Mango seems far more energetic this morning and slept through the night...... YIPPEE! no vomit and this moring she seems so much more perky than last night.

EDIT: I have one more important question for you: Is it possible that an incident like this can cause permanent damage to her Pancreas???

FIRST, YAY for good news! I'm so glad the little punkin' is feeling better!

2nd, I would highly doubt her levels (in and of themselves) would cause any damage (I'm saying that, though, w/out knowing much else clinically about her) - they were elevated, but not off-the-charts - which is good. If it was a genuine case of pancreatitis - it'd def. be something you'll have to work with going forward, but it would be doable. Do you know Yorkieluv at all? She knows a ton of info on that subject, IF you need it (and I'm crossing my paws that you don't!).

Lastly, I CANNOT believe you said that about becoming a "nutritionist" bc I am actually looking into that very thing as we speak! How weird. I have a bach. degree in nursing, but this canine nutrition stuff has hooked me big time - so we'll see. How funny though!

Lauren
Edit: Did Sukoshi have any elevated blood levels when she was sick?

Hi Lauren! I'm just checking in this morning to see how Mango is doing. To answer your question, no, Sukoshi's levels were all in the normal range when she went through this similar thing in August. It sounds like Mango is returning to normal though, so hopefully it was just an isolated incident and nothing long-term. Please keep us updated as the vet does more tests on Monday. And try to spend some time enjoying the holiday with your family. I know you were so anxious for your mom's visit, and your time with her is so precious that I hope you don't spend the whole time worrying (although like you said...I know how we are with our babies, and I'd be freaking out too if I were you!!!!). Like you said...at least once you know exactly what you're dealing with, then you can focus on fixing it...assuming it wasn't just a little stomach bug. And don't be too hard on Jack . I'm sure Mango looked at him with that adorable face, and he just couldn't say no...so 8 Cheerios later... I doubt that caused any of this. Keep us updated! And call if you need anything!

Lauren I'm so pleased Mango is feeling better today. I hope you both have a good day.
Nite-nite. Happy Thanksgiving

Anne,
I am so happy - today Mango has been zooming around like nothing happened to her. Such a difference from last night, when she was so listless, no energy, just wanted to snuggle with me.

See girl! I told ya I could spot a budding nutritionist all the way from California! You would be wonderful in that department. So now, knowing you are RN, all your medical knowledge and familiarity with those terms makes total sense.
Thanks so much. I will definitely have her rechecked on Monday.

Hi Lisa,
I only just got home know. Ronda has been here since this morning, and I took her to run errands with Mom and I, to keep her mind off Teddi.
Poor Jack... with his 8 cheerio blooper, poor guy got ^%%# on from a dizzy height..... he's walking around with HIS tail between his legs.
Now that Mango seems her normal demented little self, I can enjoy Mama's visit.

Thank you Lisa's Mama. Now I am just hoping that everything looks good on the Monday tests.

Lauren, I read through this real quick to get to the end...relieved to hear that your baby, Mango...is back into the zoomies. So sorry to hear she was ill and more sorry that I wasn't here to help you through it. Did you do a search on here for pancreatitis? I can't think of the person...but there is someone on here that has extensive knowledge with this, stating which test to run and which not to bother with...maybe I'll go do that and see if I can figure out who it was.
Hugs to you girlfriend...and smooches galore for Mango...stay well sweety, mamma can't take the stress and daddy can't take the quilt...go easy on him Lauren, the Cheerios may not have had anything to do with this, I'd be more suspicious of the dog biscuit she ate the day before...

Hi Kathy,
Mango is back to her demented little self - such a huge difference from last night this time. That dog biscuit did worry me because with all the recalls, you never know what the ingredients are, that's why my girls only get the Cheerios. Poor Jack, his guilt trip last night was soooo bad. We had very little sleep, because I kept hopping up to check on Mango.
With the tests she will have, I am just praying that those levels all return to normal; the results yesterday freaked me out a little (to put it mildly). I am going to do a search; Anne told me that Yorkieluv is very knowledgeable on the subject.
You should have seen Mango with Ronda (Teddi's Mama) today. She could not stop jumping on her and showering her with little kisses... was toooo cute - the little head bobbing up and down with each kiss.... she got a million of them...LOL Granny Spanky is back to being tormented by her naughty (nuisance) shadow as well.
Have a great Thanksgiving!
Hugs,
Lauren
