Originally Posted By Liberty Belle My beautiful little poodle Ebony has been 'off' the last couple of days since I got back from Hong Kong - I had to coax her to eat the night I got back (Tuesday - it's Thursday here now), which wasn't a good sign as she's normally nagging for food, but she perked up the next day and I decided it was just the heat. Anyway, this morning I woke up and discovered she'd vomited seven or eight times during the night (and twice more this morning). I took her to the vet and she's drawn blood - the vet isn't sure if it's just a stomach bug or something more serious. She's suspecting pancreatitis, which scares me. Ebbie's 11 but she still seems like a puppy, but I'm starting to realise she's not really all that young anymore. It's about an hour until I find out the results of the blood test, so I'm praying really hard it's just a tummy bug. It would really mean a lot if you would keep her in your thoughts as well. Thank you! Kerryn

Originally Posted By Liberty Belle Thanks heaps guys. Well we've spoken to the vet and it is pancreatitis, but she (the vet) sounded a little more positive than she did this morning.

So I'm a bit upset that it's pancreatitis, but glad the vet sounds a bit more positive than she did this morning ...
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Ah, that sounds like hopeful news I'll keep Ebony in my thoughts for a speedy recovery of this bout and management of her disease. I'm sure she is pretty wiped out right about now. Poor baby.
Originally Posted By Tinkeroon It's always tough when this happens...our thoughts and prayers are with you and Ebony. On the positive side the vet did sound more positive and as debtee said...it can be managed. I hope it all works out well. Keep us informed, if you would. And give Ebony a big hug from the collective LPers. {{{{{{{EBONY}}}}}}}

If the vet hasn't told you yet, pancreatitis can be quite painful depending on its severity, so give darling Ebony lots of love and patience. I'll be thinking of Ebony and you and sending positive thoughts

Originally Posted By Liberty Belle Thanks everyone for your good thoughts. I've spoken with the vet and Eb's on the drip and is bright and alert. She hasn't vomited again (although she isn't given anything to eat or drink while on the drip). And of course, I've been babying our other puppy Jasmine, who's at home and moping around the place because her sister isn't there with her!
