Any idea what is wrong?

Honestly... the only advice I can give is to have her checked out by a vet. I really hope you find out what's wrong, though. Have you talked with your vet about a payment plan if you can't pay for it all up-front, or post-dating checks?

I have an appointment scheduled for 1:30 tomorrow. The head vet, Dr. Griese, is going to be looking at her.

The perk of working at this particular vet clinic is that I don't have to pay up front for any medical care that my dogs recieve. Their stand is that if I fail to pay in a timely manner, they can always deduct the payment from my check.

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.

You have no idea how comforting that is to hear.

If her fecal comes back negative for any type of parasite, I'm going to request for a blood panel to be done.

I just want her to get better and be healthy.
