Hi my name is barb and I just joined because I saw this forum. I am no stranger to a sick dog I had ,
3 rottweilers during my married life all having health issues crime hip dysplasia to cancer and full blow Epilepsy. I adopted a Shepard mix Australian/German. He’s is about 9 or 10 not quite sure. He started back in may of last yr with throwing up and diarrhea. He never had a solid poop in the first 3 yes I have had him. He would
Throw up after eating every once In awhile. Have taken him to the vet and every thing was fine. Now getting back to May of last yr he was acting different. He was a pacer in the beginning but this time it changed to back and forth etc.com he vomited that night and to the vet we went next day. Blood work showed pancreatitis. I was like…….what? Never heard this before. Vet stays 2 to3 nights first time. Month later 5 days than 2 months after that 7 nights I had him to.see a a
Specialist a few days after but he said he could do nothing because he wasn’t sick. I’d have to bring him back if it comes back. Well it has been since October that he was last sick and he is doing very well. I’m afraid to.say anything because IM afraid it will come back. I do not know his past or who he belonged to. All I know was I found him one night after work. Took him up to my apt Gave him water and called animal shelter. One yr to the day I found him I brought him to both our new Home. Yes I brought a house for Charley….there is more to the story.
Anyway dealing with pancreatitis is one of the toughest Illnesses I have ever had to. There is a constant fear it will come back. He will most Iikely be on hills low fat
I/d for rest of his life.
He’s good for now and back to his vocal ways. Just nice to see IM not
alone.
