Boogs follow up from Friday vet appointment pancreatitis

[Duncanpup]

Apologies I posted previous post accident to boog will be ok thank you I deleted it . Friday morning boog the chocolate lab who is 12 years old would not eat he was hacking and gacking vomiting were like shit. I called our vets and we headed in they hooked us up emergency appointment that morning. At the vet they did Blood work and poor guy had fever Mister was drinking water in Tacoma out styrofoam cup and then puking it up boys nerves and mine just nerves on edge.

Well they took blood at 12 mister had pancreatitis they gave him shot for bloating pain and nausea. And they gave us meds antibiotic and a nausea med for him. That morning they told us mister will be coming home that day with us great relief and $485 dollars.

Today they called and asked how boog was doing. I said he’s back to 100% he was trying to paw at cupboards door under sink again this morning cuz my wife tossed old meatloaf. Boogs like why do you people lock up the trash can. I’m relived we all are relived we love mister knuckle head.

1. Did vet caution you to keep him on low fat diet?

4. For gawd sake!

Trust me on this. Dogs aren't made to digest fat. As I understand it, fat in diet causes pancreatitis.

Googe it.

6. Seconding. Low fat diet and exercise are key. I've been through this with my dog.

Never had a dog with this condition, but vets warned me years ago.
