    Good news that Lizzie is on the mend, David. Always a relief when you get a firm diagnosis and know that there is treatment available. Hope she continues to make progress! Happy

    Hi everyone.  Just thought I would update you, for those who have been following the story.  

    Lizzie had another bad bout of diarrhoea and passing some blood in the night.  It is all very worrying.  The vet has kept her in today to give her I.V. fluids, painkillers and other bits and bobs.  We have to collect her at about 6.30pm this evening, so we will know more when we go to collect her.  Sadly, at the moment, we ae having to prep ourselves for the worst case scenario.

    It's all very sad and worrying.  I'll post up any more news as we have it.

    Thank you all for your concern, support and sympathy.

    David

    Just collected her from the vets.  Not really much news, but she seems well drugged up.  Been on a drip for the day to try and re-hydrate her.  She's just sleeping now.   Didn't even greet us with the usual enthusiasm.  More tests tomorrow.  FrownFrown

    Hopefully, the rest will do her the world of good. We've been there, too, and know just how worrying it is. Thoughts are with you, chin up...

    My thoughts are with you.All David , having had the pleasure of meeting little Lizzie very pretty and very sociable little dog it's hard to visualise her not being well, praying for Lizzie to very much improve today

    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.

    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..
