I have to admit that I haven't found a really good vet here in Arizona.

My Yorkie, Curtis, has had liquid d for almost a year now. He gets a little better at times but nothing has worked for him. I am going to try the Pepcid AC starting tomorrow and will keep my fingers crossed.

Thanks again -

When you say "even that didn't work" - what do you mean? You mean the liquid diarrhea? How old is Curtis? If it's the diarrhea, has that *only* been occurring since the pancreatitis - or was it present at times prior...? Was there ever any other health issues prior...?

What happens when a short regimen of steroid is given?

Tried probiotic?

Fish diet?

I'm in AZ for 12 yrs now and had a horrible time finding a vet but am very familiar now. Where in AZ are you?

He is almost 12 years old. He is about 8 lbs.If it's the diarrhea, has that *only* been occurring since the pancreatitis - or was it present at times prior...? It started about a year ago. Prior to that he was fine but was always a little gassy.Was there ever any other health issues prior...?He never had any health issues prior to this. He always was a very health dog. He still is a very happy active guy.

What happens when a short regimen of steroid is given? He was given steroid and a antibiotic everyday for a few months and it didn't help.

Tried probiotic? Probiotic did not work

Fish diet?Havent tried a fish diet. Can you recommend a brand?
