Thanks anonymously ā the research I have done suggests acute as this was her 1st experience with this but I am sure it wonāt be her last. I will do everything in my power to help avoid another attack if we can just get her better this time. Her white blood cell count was a little high yesterday so they have now started her on antibiotics, she was put back on her fluid IV yesterday morning and they gave her some nutrical for energy and some meds to help reduce acid in her stomach. Waiting to hear from them this morning as we are getting close to another 24 hours on the IV ā fingers crossed she hasnāt vomited anymore and that she is perking up a bit. Itās so hard to see her so weak and blah like she was yesterday.
Thanks for the help Susan ā I just requested to join the group on Facebook, I need as much support as possible right now and that FB group seems like it would be so helpful! Thank you for that! We were feeding her boiled chicken breasts prior to Friday when we found out it was pancreatitis and she has been hospitalized since. She has always ate Taste of the Wild ā the Lamb one and she loves it, she is a much bigger fan of dry dog food than wet so I thought it was possibly the issue and why she wouldnāt eat the Hills Monday night but since the vet said she chowed down the wet Hills ID the first time and her entire demeanor changed it was more than just her not liking the food š
I am bringing her a diff blanket from home, one that smells like us and her brother who misses her like crazy. I truly hope she isnāt there until Saturday but if she is, we have planned to bring her brother in to help cheer her up. He has really began acting out at home so I know he is really missing her too. The vet closes around the same time I get off work, so it hasnāt given me much time to bring Rocco in but I do go see her on my lunch hour and then again right when I get off work until they close. We are also bringing her some of her normal food to see if she will start to take that down. The vet said they wouldnāt think we should switch from TOTW once she is better as the vet personally uses that for her dogs ā but I am definitely open to all suggestions. I will see which Hills ID they are giving her now ā I do know it doesnāt smell too great and looks pretty nasty. I was there Monday night and tried to see if she would eat while I was there with her but no interest at all. Thank you so much for your response ā I am excited to get added to the group on FB, I need to hear some success stories to try and boost up my spirits so I can boost up hers!
