<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It has been a few days since I updated about
Emmy. Today she is home with us. During the last 6 days, she had
been with the vet on fluids and IV meds for her pancreatitis. She is still
not eating or drinking by herself. She is not throwing up, but does not
want to try anything. She will go sit or stand over the water bowl like
she wants to, but won't. I thought, well maybe her neck is hurting
her, but I have seen her walking outside and bone wise and muscle wise,
she looks normal. I am syringing her drink---pedialyte, and food into
her. Am using some baby foods, and also ID blended up fine. She is
due back at the vet in the morning. As the ultrasound showed, she
has a thickened pancreas which means she is prone to it and has had it in the
past. She will be put on an appropriate diet once she is through this
episode. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I appreciate all the advice and drool you all have
sent for her. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Oh, and we found out she has coxcydia(sp?)
The whole pack is being treated for it, as is the house, bedding, and
yard. We are on lock down for a few weeks, no hounds visitors or
trips to the park...where they probably got it in the first
place.........</FONT></DIV>
