Hi all!
I know this a subject that consistently pops up around here, but I wanted to see if I could Garner some suggestions for pancreatitis and what worked/didn't work for your furries.
Nico is a diabetic, with HBP (though we'll controlled on a low dose of Amlodipine). Last week he threw up a few times, Wednesday and Friday. Honestly, other than his glucose going way up I wouldn't have known anything was wrong! I took him to the vet clinic Friday and they indicated he must have some inflammation going on. Granted they are like an urgent care, so they weren't able to do much testing. We can home with a three day dose of Onsior and Cerenia.
After a call to my regular vet, we scheduled some time to bring him in for the pancreas lipase test and general blood work.
In the mean time, I'm curious if there's additional steps I can take to help his inflammation? He's already getting the Cerenia, which I'm trying to ween him from since he seems to be doing better, along with glucosamine chondroitin. I have some B12, would that perhaps help? He's also receiving extra fluids at the vets suggestion.
I appreciate any feedback, hopefully I'll be well prepared next time he has a flare up!
