It looks as if we have a poorly dog today.  Completely off food and is passing blood in stools.  We're quite worried about her at the moment but have booked Lizzie in for the vet this afternoon.  Frown

Thanks Maria and Micky.  We only had to get up once with her during the night, which is an improvement.  She's ate just a couple of mouthfuls of I.D. canned food this morning.  Off to the vet again in a moment for the blood tests and to see what they want to do today.

Carol has taken her to the vets this morning.  They have kept her in to do blood tests and an x-ray.  Of course, for a dog, an x-ray means a general anesthetic, so she has another day with the vet.  So we're playing the waiting game again today.

We'll keep our fingers crossed for you all, David. We understand what a worrying time it will be.

Well we're back from the vets.  X-rays came back as fine with the exception of a thickening of the intestinal and stomach wall which apparently indicates gastroenteritis as well as the already diagnosed pancreatitis.  So we have more medication and a hefty vets bill - luckily a large proportion covered by insurance!  She looks a lot brighter now, but is very tired after today's ordeal.

......results of the first lot of blood tests due on Monday..
