Hi all,
So crazy story..... Took my 4 year old bulldog to vet for his very first hot spot on his cheek. I thought he had gotten bitten by something and we would not eat his dinner. Cheek was a little swollen and he had never had one before, so I had no clue. They would not let us come in per the COVID 19 virus. So they came and took Boyd and did bloodwork since I stated that he would not eat. Most of his bloodwork came out fine, vet said he was young and healthy. But he showed up positive for pancreatitis. They gave him fluids and a Zofran injection. They also sent home a prescription of Metronidazole. They also sent us home with Hills, prescription diet food to start him on today. They told us to not feed him anything last night. I think its worth mentioning that right before I took him to the vet, he pooped (solid) and peed in the yard. This am early, we woke up to Boydy had had diarrhea in our bed. So we got up, cleaned it up, and he took his spot on the couch. He would not eat or drink any water. So around 3ish, we called the vet and told him what was going on. He wanted to hospitalize Boyd. We said, no, as there is no one there overnight and they are closed on sunday. So Boyd would have to stay 2 nights. So my questions is has anyone had experience with pancreatitis? He has had water on his own now but is also still having diarrhea and not wanting to eat. He seems totally fine, except for diarrhea. He did not have any of these symptoms before the vet visit.... Any help is appreciated.
