Cincy

[4 Dog Mother]

Amy just called me on her cell phone on her way to work. The vet is keeping Cincy today to keep her on IVs. Of course, Amy is very worried about her baby.

I told her I felt it was my fault that they chose such a sick baby because I am the one who found the ad in the paper for her. And she said "Yeah, and who would have cared for her if we had not chosen her." She is right and that is a very sweet way of seeing that God chose them for Cincy because He knew they would make sure she got the help she needed and not chose to get rid of her and her problems (and you know there are those out there like that).

So continue to keep poor Cincy in prayer. We all love her very much!

Thank you for the continued thoughts everyone.

I talkd to the vet around 2 pm and Cincy was doing well. She had not vomitted anymore so they were going to try a little food. I haven't heard anymore yet, but she maybe be able to come home tonight (even if she has to go back in for more fluids tomrrow). Hopefully I'll hear more soon!

Here's some *links* to "Pancreatitis in Dogs" >>>

About.com article #1
"Treatment for this disease is supportive, meaning that there isn't usually a direct cause and cure, but supporting the animal while allowing healing. The veterinary team will take care of the animal's nutritional and fluid needs, pain management, and addressing any other disease processes (infection, diabetes, etc.) while letting the pancreas heal on its own. Resting the pancreas and gastrointestinal system is key, and this means no food or water by mouth for 1 to 5 or more days. This is dependent on the severity of each case, and the animal must be on fluids and other support to survive and heal the pancreas while off of oral food and water."

Sadly, they all seem to say it can be a serious problem;
but also say it can be managed.

Get Well Quick, Cincy - it's almost Dawg Park Tyme!!

Poor Cincy! I hope you feel better soon, sweet girl.

Thanks everyone!

Cincy is doing well. She came home fromthe vet around 5:45 tonight, and although she is still not real interest in eating, she has not gotten sick anymore! The vet gave her the okay to go to the library tonight when kids read to her, and she did great there, even ate a handful of food. I tried to get her to eat a little more now that we are home, but she said no thanks. I'll try again in an hour or two.

We are going to take her in to the vet again tomorrow. They gave us the option of giving her oral meds at home or there, but since we both work, we decided it would be better is she was under the watchful eye of the vet for one more day. No more IV's, and no more sleeping over though!!!
