My little mini had acute pancreatitis but is doing much better now
It started with a bit of diarrhoea which seemed to get better within 24 hrs, but then the next day he suddenly started vomiting so we rushed him to the vets and they ran some bloods and his pancreatic enzyme was elevated.
They put him on a drip, pain meds and antibiotics, plus UDCA and liver support and he really perked up quickly and could come home at night to sleep.
After 2.5 days on the IV during the day he got discharged. He’s now on prescription low fat kibble and wet food and is eating better than ever so hopefully this will help him to put a bit of weight on to get into a healthier category (he was only 3.8kg) and avoid any flares. He also got cleared of Addison’s.
We’re still unsure of what triggered it as we don’t feed him any human food, so any tips on how to avoid another flare up is welcome. So happy to have him home, rocking a little Pom Pom foot until the shaved fur grows back.
