I've just seen this Sheryl -  hope she's perking up a bit.....my Siamese had this last year and had a few days on a drip. We had to be very careful with her diet for a while but now she is back to the little minx she was before and has shown no sign of it re-occurring. Lots of cuddles for Kali and hope you're doing ok.....

Worried that you haven't updated this, Sheryl. Hoping that you just have better things to do on a bank hol than come on here.
With love from Julie, Bramble Poppy and Coco xxx

You beat me to it Julie :blink:

Back from the vet and things are much improved.  She had a good night, not nearly so much jumping and a lot more settled.  The vet seems pleased with her too.  She is still a bit tender and so has been given another week of Ampicillin to take.  He said it may well be something she ate.  He cannot be specific about it happening again.  He said it may be a one off, she may have a predisposition to getting it again or it may be immune triggered.  One good thing was on the first blood test, her platelet count was fine.   

Anyway, Kali actually picked up her toy hedgehog today so things are looking up!  I have been told to keep a close eye on her when the tablets stop, just in case.  She has been put on Hills low fat digestive which didn't please me.  He said it may be the Burns that caused this but I seriously doubt that.  The only other thing I can think of that I did differently was giving her some well rinsed canned hot dogs as training treats and also some Pet Bakery apple and cinnamon bars.  He mentioned fat content but I thought it was the liver dealt with fat and the pancreas with sugar?

Main thing is that Kali is improving.  I will start all my research into the whys and wherefores when she is completely better.  If anyone can shed any light on it meantime though, I would be grateful.  I (and Miss Kali) want to thank everyone who wished her well on here and by text and pm.  I know I have said it before but knowing people have big enough hearts to care about someone elses baby, makes you feel less alone.

I am just grateful that for now she seems to be in less pain and that I can breathe again.  Of course I am always going to be watching for a relapse but that is maybe not a bad thing. :-\

Oh Sheryl I am so glad she is improving.  :luv: :luv:

Hope you are feeling a bit better yourself too.  :-*

A colleagues cocker had a bad spell with pancreatitis last year, I will try and catch hold of him tomorrow for some info.  ;) All I know is that he went on holiday and returned to his baby being seriously ill with it.  :'( However, she is great now, I think she has the occassional flair up but not to the degree she had initially. I will see what I can find out for you.

Big hugs from me and Alfie.  :-*

So glad to hear Kali is on the mend!  :D  A hedgehog is always a good sign!  :005: :luv:

Fat metabolism is a problem with pancreatitis. Dogs who've been through it need to be on low fat diets for life, and to avoid fatty treats and extras. It doesn't mean she's been given anything "bad", it's just that for various reasons her body cannot cope with what other dogs can handle.

Oh, that's fantastic news that she's improving, Sheryl. No more one on one cuddling time in the caravan for Miss Kali and her Daddy for now then.  :005:
