Pancreatitis is much easier to treat in dogs than it is in cats...still serious, but generally not something you'd have to consider putting her down over. I've had several dogs with pancreatitis both acute and chronic. None of them have died because of it. Paxil has had chronic problems for years. She's 14 now and still doing very well. She was still my main lead dog this past winter. (she's retired now, but I haven't broke that news to her yet!) I have to monitor her diet very closely and occasionally give her sub-q fluids. At one point we added enzemyes to her food, but she doesn't seem to need that anymore.
I'd ask for a general health panel(bloodwork). It should show if anything isn't working right in her major organs and at least give you a starting point.
I didn't realize Chloe was so young! I do vaccines for two years(one when they first arrive if I don't know their history and a booster a year later). I do rabies every three years because I have to keep my kennel permit(there hasn't been a case of rabies here for 50 odd years).
