Liver Issues vs Virus

[rjisaterp]

That's what they told my friend, too much fat in the diet.

It's kind of crazy too, the things we give them to keep them healthy, can actually make them sick. The only reason Blue and Wellie don't get either item, is because Blue has terrible allergies that I'm scared of aggravating by giving him too many things.
And Wellie doesn't get what Blue can't eat..lol..

And it's Tis' the season. Watch out for those treats.

Hoping that the good progress has continued for Jewel and she will be coming home. I know @rjisaterp did not do anything intentional to cause this at all and this is another (the hard way)"learning" experience for all of us.. But I do know that holiday time is also pancreatitis time for many dogs,(having worked for a vet..) as they get too many Christmas handouts. Be careful out there -don't let the relatives be "too kind" to your babies, as many think they are being good to the dogs by(sneaking) giving them extra goodies. Some breeds are more prone to problems-as we all know! Continued prayers for Jewel!!

Thank you. And you are correct...it was not intentional.

I have been doing some research into pacreatitis and the amount of fat a bully should/can have. For now, Jewel will be on a low-fat bland diet that I know after talking to the Internal Med vet the other night. We will find more about the diet tonight. But the main overall contributing factor to her illness was the fats in the foods. I will probably do a write-up on this escapade and post. It will make mommies and daddies aware of what is hidden in foods.

I think the biggest thing was the fact the one organ pancrease can affect the liver which was what the initial bloodwork was leading one to conclude.

Great idea! I certainly had no idea this could be a problem. I am so happy to hear Jewel is better and able to come home. You are a great bully daddy. No blame to be had here.

I think the Fentanyl patch has something to do with that which will be left on until Sunday.

I will say, she is 300% better than when we saw her Tuesday evening.
