Muriel Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 On the way to both. Hector, sadly isn't great - he's all doped up and doesn't know what planet he's on, and Tilly, the other dog is really stressed because of it and behaving "badly" Not to mention the humans stresses too.

Tash Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 We visited the vet today and Duke had his blood test. His enzyme count is a little further down. The recommended range is 200-1800. When he went in it was over 3000 and didn’t go down for a while. Last Thursday it was 2800 and today is was 2400. So its going in the right direction. He is staying on the stomach liner medicine one hour before food and the low fat diet and we are back for another blood test next week. But he is making progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tash Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 thanks Muriel Duke today decided to indulge in one of his fave activities - destroying a crackly sounding envelope by pulling it to bits out my hand. he is extremely gentle even when at his most excited and as the bit of envelope left in my hand decreases the more gentle he becomes (the pics are from my phone so not great quality!)

Tash Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 I am bumping this back up again because although Duke is very well in himself, his blood tests show that his enzyme count is not going down. The vet has said looking at the whole picture that he feels if Duke had cancer of the pancreas he would have more severe symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting (which he has not had since the day he was admitted to the vet nearly a month ago.) However we still don't know why the enzyme count is not reducing to normal levels. The vet also said that the best therapy for him is what he is currently on. The enzyme count from the blood test merely shows us that the pancreas is not functioning 100% normally. We do not have to return to the vet for another 2 weeks which is good. The next step may be to have a scan of the pancreas to see what it looks like. The results of that would then direct us in how to proceed. The scan can be done with GA or sedation but he will have to go to a specialist. Now this is playing havoc with my nerves because on the face of it I have a very happy hound. But the blood tests tell me something is not quite right. So I am asking again if everyone could please send healing thoughts/ prayers/ reiki to Duke and particularly his pancreas. Thank you so much everyone I hope all the other animals heal as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
