Good to see him doing okay Tamara. I hope he continues to improve and is back to his bouncy self soon. I know it's so scary when they are sick like that. Thanks for sharing some pics of him.

The most common cause is a high fat meal. My vet says she's over-run with cases of it on the evening of a holiday meal. If you give your dogs a plate of turkey, gravy ect after Thanksgiving, they are at high risk of developing pancreatitis.

There is also a link between it and hypothryroidism, which Earle also has. Overweight dogs are more suspeptible too.

And sometimes it just happens for no apparent reason or trigger.

Oh Earle, such a sad face. But I'm happy to see you playing with your buddy! And for the fact that you are home recouperating.

Earle, I am very glad to see you are up and about and getting better. Now, if you'd just eat a bit and get to feeling much better you'd stop giving me more grey hairs!!! I'm such a worrier when someone is sick.
