Poor both of you. also sending lots of  :luv: and  :bigarmhug: :bigarmhug: Such a mystery but it does sound similar to pancreatitis which my previous cocker suffered from several times. His could often be brought on by stress so just keeping her calm and showing her you love her will definately be helping her if that is the diagnosis. Hopefully the "special" bloods may flag something. My doggie was starved for 24 hrs when he had his first (and worst) case of pancreatitis and after that I could read the signs and catch it early by putting him straight onto boiled chicken and rice to calm his tum. Has the vet suggested starving her or only offering bland food just in case? Really wish I could wave a magic wand and find the answer and make everything better for you and Jennie. I am sure the answer will be found soon.

I was going to say the same thing as my beloved Pebbles had this on more than one occassion :luv: :luv: try giving her low fat food or plain chicken anything without fat in it (just in case) as fat irritates pancreatitis.

Sending you lots of love and positive thoughts for your Jennie :luv: :luv: x x x   hope your vet finds out whats wrong real soon take care x x x

Sending hugs and prayers to you and Jennie - I can only imagine your distress - I know how much it would upset me to see my dogs like that. I truly hope that this is solved quickly and easily.

I dont what to say - I can't think of anything worse than seeing a beloved friend in so much pain and not being able to find out what is wrong to make the pain go away.  Lots of healing thoughts and all paws crossed here for you all, God Bless

thanks again everyone :)

So after a long phone call with the vet we're off tomorrow to a specialist for the day, they have booked us in after consulting with our vet as an emergency.

All the blood tests and 'special' pancreas tests are normal really - well, again slightly elevated but (should read 0-200 for normal and read 288).  She was starved monday - tuesday, and has been on chicken and rice ever since then anyway given they had her insides out to check them over  :'( :'(

Really don't want to take her because she was ridiculously stressed after being at our usual vets for 48 hours - and she is actually scared of being hurt now, which isn't helping.. but we have to know what is wrong .. poor baby  :'( :'(

Was just about to suggest seeing a specialist. Hope you get answers soon and that she gets better soon.

Not sure where you're going but the specialist vet practices/vet schools are often very good and will put both you and your dog at ease.

I was worried re same with one of my cats but he took it in his stride (and even having to get there and back on the train he was fine).

Good luck today, having read what your poor girl has been through my heart really goes out to you, must be gut wrenching to see her obviously in so much pain, especially when you can't really get near her to comfort her  :'(
Really hope you get some answers from the specialist today and she's back on the road to recovery very very soon  :luv:
 :bigarmhug: :bigarmhug: :bigarmhug:'s for you, try not to worry too much, sounds like she will be in the best hands.

I've been thinking of you all night  :bigarmhug:. I'm afraid I don't have anything to offer in the way of help or advice  :'( but just hope that you get some answers soon. It must be absolutely heart wrenching. All fingers crossed for a speedy return to herself for little Jennie  :luv:.
