Hello,
We have a 14 year old border terrier who developed pancreatitis 2.5 weeks ago.
A reasonably mild case managed at home as she kept drinking and pain was manageable so she wasn’t admitted.
She also has Cushings disease which I think makes this more common.
She’s really struggling to shake this off. She doesn’t want to eat and ends up with a gurgling tummy, then we go to the vet and she gets either anti sickness injection or appetite stimulants, she does ok for 2 days and then we start the cycle again of gurgling tummy, not eating etc.
She’s only having plain low fat food as per the vet.
I’m starting to think we may not come out the other side of this and I can’t let her suffer every two days, to be temporarily fixed by drugs that seem to leave her back where she started 48 hours later.
She’s definitely better than she was from the initial pancreatitis - but we just can’t get her stomach back to normal and it’s so horrible seeing this happen over and over.
She’s not too distressed, but it’s very hard.
Has anyone been in a similar situation?
