My 7 year old pitbull recently went about 4 days (maybe 5) without defecating and eating minimally (no dog food, just occasionally would sneak some people foood) and escessively thirsty and peeing excessively . I made a vet appointment, and the day prior to the appointment she defecated, and began to eat (not much for the most part, juat a few bites here and there and was back to being herself in regards to personality. To be safe I took her to the vet anyway as an appointment had already been made. The vet diagnosed it as pancreatitis, noting that she seemed to have pulled through the worst of it on her own he said and put her on a course of meds (antibiotic and what I understood to be a probiotic) After the first day of meds she again became lethargic, and again won’t eat, not eating is putting it lightly, she has an aversion to it, regardless of what food it is she tends to get up and move elsewhere to avoid it. She is still urinating and defecating infrequently despite diminished food and liquid intake

Adam Wysocki A hematoma doesn’t necessarily have to cost hundreds of dollars … talk to your vet about payment options or care credit … or ask your vet if there are local animal welfare organizations that may be able to help.
There are no “home remedies” that I am aware of.

Sandra Sellers My puppy wanted to chew everything in site. I tried to offer her a lot of different play toys to stimulate her interest and I found that bully sticks were wonderful for her to chew; monitored so they do not choke. Not all dogs take to nylabones but some do and kong products are great especially if you put something like cheese or peanutbutter inside and then they concentrate on licking instead of chewing. If she’s out on the deck by herself for a long period of time she’s probably bored and lonely. If she does it even when you are outside with her it’s probably because she likes to chew. Just re-direct her interest into something else so she will forget about it. If you stay consistent she should learn not to do it. I try to keep all cleaning products and chemicals away from my pets.

Sue Bona You really shouldn’t give them anything without seeing the vet. Acetaminophen and ibuprofen are toxic to dogs. It is my understanding that one pill can kill them. I would at least call your vet. Maybe he can prescribe something over the phone.

Margrit Simons Should you not try to find out what is causing the pain? Pain is often an indication of an underlying problem!

My 10yo rat terrier (have had since 6months old) is ppl and dog aggressive. He bit my 10 month old son twice this summer, no blood but snaps every chance he’s near baby.he has bitten people in the past. He has severe anxiety & is afraid of everything. he’s always been this way. His fur is falling out, he has hard black patches all over, and soft pink skin showing I’m other places. After biting my son’s face, hubby is talking about euthanasia. Is this the right choice?

What diagnostics did your vet do to determine it was pancreatitis? It is possible that she’s reacting to the antibiotic or it is possible that the diagnosis is something else. I’d definitely call the vet back and tell them what is going on.
blood test and general examination. I will call to see if it’s a reaction to the meds
Can’t comment on the blood test much without knowing what it showed and whether or not they ran cPL. Please do talk to them, though.
