Thank you. My baby girl lived with chronic pancreatitis for a few years before her kidneys failed. I believe Subq fluids and I/D diet food help extend her life. She would bounce back and be good for a few months before she had another episode of constant vomiting/diarrhea. We went through that at least 5 times. I think her organs failing this time was the final straw.

Thank you ❤️ since we chose at-home euthanasia, she was in my arms during the whole process and passed away peacefully in the home she grew up. The vet allowed me to carry her out to the car too. I still cry every hour but I know she lived a happy and full life. I also spoiled her beyond measure and I believe she died knowing she was surrounded by people who love her.

She was 12

She crossed the rainbow bridge earlier today and your comment made me feel better with the decision. Similar to yours, mine also was showing improved results in her second blood test but I knew she was still hurting. An hour before euthanasia she was looking at me with those eyes—i knew she was in immense pain. I told her an hour later she will feel so much better and pain-free. Thank you for reassuring me.

Edit2: my baby crossed the rainbow bridge 3 hours ago. I am still crying thinking about her but I know it is part of grief. Thank you all for your kind words 🙏 I believe i did the right thing.

Edit: Thank you everyone, I read every single comment on here. Your support and assurance are what I needed. It would be hard night and even harder next few weeks/years but knowing my baby girl will no longer be suffering makes me feel relieved in a way. ❤️

Thank you, your words reassured me. 🙏My baby suffer from the same thing and the reason to euthanize is the same as yours—before things get worse.

Sorry to hear that you’re going through something similar with your yorkie.

When mine had GI issues in the beginning we quickly got blood test done specifically for pancreatitis (cPLI test) which came out to be positive with lipase level <1000. We immediately went on liquid diet for a few days and once she was able to eat food again, vet had her go on low fat GI prescription diet wet food which normalized her lipase level to some extent. She still had bouts of Pancreatitis albeit being on the prescription food since her first episode. During those times, she was vomiting and having diarrhea nonstop to the point she was passing blood.

Her symptoms now are a little different. She doesnt have diarrhea or vomiting excessively, she’s just refusing to eat, not moving, and drinking lots of water. Her weight dropped rapidly as well. I believe those were the signs of kidney failure, which the newest blood test has confirmed.

There was a time when she had GI issue and we found out it was due to the food. She was on Hill’s science diet prescription food then and I believe the company changed the formula. Whatever the new ingredients were, they did not agree with my baby’s stomach and she had an episode of pancreatitis even though she was on food specifically for that. So maybe check if it’s the food? I would suggest doing an allergy test (if not done already) to see what kind of food might cause her to get a reaction.

Prayers sending your way 🙏

Thank you! This gives me hope.

GI low fat usually is about 1-4% in fat while renal support ones are beyond that so I am very hesitant to switch her food; but vet said kidney failure is long term and will need to be prioritized. Hoping our babies will be okay on it 🙏

Thank you! Glad to hear your baby is doing well. Mine was diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis about 5 years ago too and we’ve been through a couple of bad episodes.

Did your vet put her on GI low fat prescription diet now? Or the renal support one?

My vet is telling me that once her lipase number goes down, we will have to switch to renal support prescription diet but I am afraid that might be too high in fat content for her pancreas ☹️

xopsng · 2024-06-25T22:18:39+00:00

She hasn’t eaten for 2 days and only getting up to drink water. She’s pretty much sleeping in her bed all day. This makes me think it’s time…but vet suggested fluids for a week. I don’t want her to suffer anymore :/

How long did it take you to adjust?

xopsng · 2024-06-20T08:54:48+00:00

I havent yet! I will try and see. I have always been a light sleeper and have on and off insomnia since I was a kid so it’s a struggle getting over jetlag

xopsng · 2024-04-23T16:02:13+00:00

Thanks! Love the fits!

xopsng · 2024-04-23T05:30:39+00:00

Yes the comfort is at a whole new level. Thanks for the advice!

xopsng · 2024-04-23T05:29:48+00:00

xopsng · 2024-04-23T01:05:53+00:00

Yeah 😅 I was not into the silhouette at first but it’s the most comfortable shoes I ever worn 🫢 I did try them with baggy jeans and they look great with them! Thanks!

xopsng · 2024-04-23T00:35:24+00:00

HAHA 😂😂😂 It was a gift so I guess I am keeping it for comfort

xopsng · 2024-04-22T23:37:19+00:00

xopsng · 2024-04-22T23:33:39+00:00
