Let's keep Valerie and Duke in our prayers

[lv4dogs]

Is there any drug that improves appetitie that can be given with the drug that helps him?

I've been thinking about you & Duke today. I hope he gets better soon.

[joycenalex]

if duke won't eat chicken, what about tuna, or a cooked fish? i know when alex had his last bout of pancreatitis, the tuna juice was a favorite. thinking of you both.

Ahhh, Poor Duke. I've had him on my mind today, waiting for the up date that you posted.

I'm glad that he at least "Ate" something, but like you said, he has lost 4 pounds since Friday .Hopefully, the Vet will focus on Dear Dukes' medications and find an alternative solution.

Maybe if you try the tuna , as joycenalex recommended, or, some "Salmon"!!!

My daughters' dogs, (German Sheperds) go NUTS for salmon.

I'd be going nuts ~~~~You need a big {{{HUG}}}}}

I would try tripe...it is very smelly and most dogs can't resist. The only dog food tripe prep I've seen around here is by Solid Gold:

However, there may be other brands at your local pet store.

Many {{hugs}} to you and Duke!

Valerie, I don't know what to suggest, but I hope you know that you and Duke are in my prayers.

Thanks for all the suggestions on what he might like. However, I have to be very careful because he almost died from pancreatitis about 4 or so years ago. So, I can't just feed him anything. I am happy to report that he just ate a boiled egg on his own and then two small chicken breasts. Tomorrow, I'm going to try and find some canned chicken that he would like and maybe mix it with his dry and see if he will eat it. Oh, he had his noserubber after that and I sang to him. That made me really happy.

I just know that your Duke is going to be alright!!! What a wonderful post, he ate a boiled egg and two small chicken breast, I'd be inclined to sing to him myself.

More positive Prayers for you and for Duke!!!!!!!!

Salmon is a fatty fish, so I wouldn't do that since he's had pancreatitis. Chester, like Alex, always does very well with tuna or whitefish.

Good bloodwork is always a relief, but I hope he starts eating soon.

Always thinking about our favorite boy. Loving hugs and prayers from K-lo and me.

Good boy Duke! Eating little and often is better than not at all
