Glad to hear Snoopy is doing better!! How did the walk go?

[4 Dog Mother]

Snoopy and I went around the block for our walk and he did really well. Almost but not quite back to normal as far as attitude. Yesterday he was definitely depressed. Today he almost knocked me over when I bent down to pet him. After the walk, I stayed and help give him his iv fluids and fed him a little dog food. I was probably there about an hour. Since he is such a brat for them when he gives them the fluids, I may be going back at 8:00 tonight.
I asked the vet whether the e-collar was a normal big one and he showed me one and yes it was. What Snoopy did was bang it into the crate bars until he bent it and could get a grip on the bent plastic and then proceeded to shread it. The vet said when they switched to the iv line he then would try to chew through his leash. Of course, while I was there he laid down next to me on the floor with his head on my lap and let the stuff just drip into them. I teased the doc and his assistants that they were making up stuff about my poor Snoops. They said he also scratched at the gate bars and tried chewing on them too.

The doc said Snoopy would have to be there at least until tomorrow afternoon - he wants to get about 5 or 6 small meals in him without it coming back up before he sends him home.

The test came back that it was pancreatitis and unfortunately due to some of the problems Snoopy has it is probably going to keep recurring. We just don't know how often.

He also said Snoopy has an abnormal amount of fat in his blood. That when you let it sit it all coagulates together and makes his blood milky white. Which of course is not a good thing. So he will need to be on a food that is easily digested to help keep the pancreatitis from recurring.

Snoopy is such an active dog - the way he runs and shows his love to us shows us how much joy there is in him and he fills us with that joy too.

Sorry that Snoopy is such a bad patient at the Vets, but can't say that
I blame the guy. I make a terrible patient too. I'm so glad he's feeling
better. Wishing you many, many better days Snoopy.

*NICE* technique on the E-collar, Bub!
Bein *sick* sure hasn't effected your Brain, has it?

Just a thought, though ... you might get outta the Hospital a lil *quicker*

Just had to smile at your post Phred because I am hoping you are following your own advice!

It sounds like good news to me for Snoopy. Please tell him that his friends, Bella and Ripley, (and me of course ) are rooting for him to get *sprung* and come home ASAP.

Does seem a bit like the Pot calling the Kettle "Black", doesn't it?

But HEY - *I* didn't *chew up* TWO E-collars and *pull out* FOUR IV Lines!



GET BETTER QUICK, Snoopster!!

[Cataholic]

That's some positive news. Keep getting better, Snoopy!
