Good news we are just home with Poppy.  :luv:
She kept the food down that the vets gave her + has had no ill effects.  She is now rehydrated so they were happy to let her home.  (Happy to have her home!)
She is still quite weak + sleepy so she is having lots of extra cuddles.  (She jumped out the car + her legs gave way bless her, so will hopefully be fighting fit in a few days.  She is wagging her tail lots so good sign! :D)
She is only on antibiotics + zantac for the rest of the week + has started a prescription diet too.
Poppy says thank you for all the positive thoughts!
Jo + Poppy.

So glad that she is home. :luv: Did the vet rule out pancreatitis? What are the antibiotics for? What prescription diet is she on?

Sorry for so many questions, just wondering what the diagnosis was. :D

Give her a big cuddle and enjoy having her hime with you. :luv:

Hi,
They still believe it was an acute bout of pancreatitis given her history + symptoms + bloods they tested on site. Specific bloods they sent off to external labs will be back end of week to confirm it.  Poppy has a check up Friday evening, so will get results then.
They put her on antibiotics when she went in as standard practice.  (apparently its quite common practice to give antibiotics when they have pancreatitis to prevent any secondary infection occuring, due to higher levels of bacteria in the gut. ph34r)
She has responded well to them so they are continuing the course. 
She was on Chappie since her last bout of pancreatitis but still had grumbly tummy every so often. ( Called chronic pancreatitis when every so often she would get an upset tummy but be fine the next day.) She never seemed full on it either.  So she is now on Hills prescription ID diet.  Gentler for her tummy and low fat so will hopefully agree with her better.
Costs a fortune! ph34r

Have only just seen this and am so sorry Poppy has been so poorly.  I am so pleased for you that she is back home and hope she continues to improve.

Thinking of you both.
