| Molly's sick I brought her home from Wa. State after being gone for almost a month.. The 2nd day we were home she threw up all day long. After 3 trips to the vet he called and said she has Pancreatitis...Poor little thing has been so sick! I was afraid I was going to lose her. This just came out of nowhere... Now I'm going to have to rethink about her food.. I could use all the help I can get... Anyone else with the same problem? Thanks in advance Diana and Molly |

Senior Yorkie Talker | Yes, I just joined and will give any info I have. After 10-12k over 2+ years I think there were short cuts if I had known and with less pain to my little one who has had this all this time. She is on a home diet and managed with several meds. #1 MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A GOOD VET! I can give you all info my little Poohbear is on. Will help in any way. God Bless. Oh keep pain meds going on regular time period. This is very painful and if she is like mine hides it very well even on exam. |

Senior Yorkie Talker | gigi for Molly, Poohbear has had this for 2 1/2 years We will help in any way we can. #1 Make sure you have a good vet....Then she needs pain meds on regular basis as they hide the pain. (depending n severity of her attack) Numbers on her test will tell how bad it is. Sometimes it is a 1 time thing.. No grease.. We do home food, barley lean pork and vitamins, not treats or around where she can clean scraps off floor. Keep in touch if you need help. Gigi Ps. learning how to do this so hope this finds you soon. Can't figure how to find the fast way to send to you. My email I can give or you give yours if you want, |

Get some hill's ultra z/d food as i prefer that to hill's i/d and see if she will eat that up after a 12hr rest though unless she is a tiny and goes hypoglycemic - how long have you been feeding the i/d | |

Senior Yorkie Talker | I just got off the phone with vet. The names of the foods are Purina-HA and Royal Canine-HP. They are processed somehow to go thru and not get them all in pain and flare up...These are both dry foods that need to be ordered by the vet. Here it is 6# for $23.43 and 38# for $94.50. I forgot to write down if both were same price. I tried Poohbear on hills p/d and some of the other canned specialty diets for pancreatitis and IBD. She stayed at the vets a few days each time we tried to get her on anything else... I ordered some of this today , to try to get POOH on this so I don't have to prepare her food. The vet warned me to put only 2 or 3 little pieces in her regular food each night and continue until I had her switched after 2 weeks from now. Is Molly any better tonight.??? This is so painful for them and they hide it so well. When you hear those sounds in her gut, without a stethoscope, you know they are in pain. I just keep her pain meds going and if she doesn't eat, I know it is nausea. The regular pepsid , i/4 tab will help that. Pooh cries to get out to eat grass and of course that makes it worse. I hope this will help and she begins to get everything calmed down. How much does she weigh. Pooh is 7#, but at one time she was down to 6#. We almost lost her. It is a long road but she will come around once you get the stomach calmed down and the right food. Stress also makes it worse... Like going for drives. Taking her into stores etc...Even playing with other dogs or cats.. She may like it but it does cause stress. Quiet and rest is the best thing until she gets her system back to normal... It does take a lot out of them. Take care and God Bless. Jessie and Poohbear |
