The vet did an xray and didn't find any blockages. It turns out it is pancreatitis. She got into a brick of brown cane sugar (not sugar with molasses), and apparently that much sugar all at once for a dog is very bad, especially since she's 10 years old. We were sent home with some probiotics and instructions for her to eat a bland diet for a few weeks. The vet said she will be fine.
Congratulations to both of you!
That’s great ❤️
You’d be surprised how easy it is for humans to develop pancreatitis, too. My sister is a physician and has seen it all the time.
Yay, I’m so happy she is ok! Thanks for updating! And please give scritches from me.
A year ago my son's cat knocked down a chocolate pastry, and my daughter's dog ate it. I was so worried it was something like that.
Glad to hear she is okay
Great news!
Thank you all for helping keep me company last night. It really helped me manage my emotions and stay sane.
Yay!!!!
Yeah, gotta be extra careful with dogs and sugary things - they DO have a sweet tooth.
Many decades ago, my dad's black lab got into a grocery bag and ate a pound of grapes.
She laid on the floor under the kitchen table and groaned for hours while she was bloated and farting the Farts of Eternal Doom.
It was so not good..
