Is it common for this to flare up every six weeks....I feel so bad for my dog?

okay the vet diagnosed my 1 year old poodle with Pancreatitis (Though I'm getting a second opinion because a lot of things don't add up and they didn't take much time with him to figure this out and we've been treating him but he just keeps getting worse)

Anyways he is now having flaire ups about every 6 weeks. He was first diagnosed with Acute Pancreatitis and he was fine after that for about 5 months but then it came back and its been pretty much every six weeks.

He then goes in for fluids, anti diahrea medicine, and an antibiotic (for whatever little thing he has picked up as well)

I'm getting a second opinion.




I'm just so exhausted over this and I just want him to feel better


I don't think its pancreatitis....I really don't not enough adds up


We are getting a second opinion because I don't trust my vet and all I got from it was they tested his liver (Not his pancreas)

Didn't do any fancy tests just basic blood work

They went on and on about his liver enzymes being elevated and that that meant pancreatitis

And 300 dollars every 6 weeks is killing us we don't have it

So I want to make sure that this is really what it is and we aren't just bandaging a different problem and treating the wrong thing

So if he starts vomiting off to the new vet we go

Chances are he is going to have to go to the vet this week. I'm going to watch him today but if he starts vomiting he goes straight to the vet.

(He may just have a bit of an upset tummy but Chances are its this again and we are going to the vet)

He has been very moody the last few days, and now the runny poops, next would most likely be vomiting

It really sounds like a second opinion would be a good idea..

Lets us know how things go

I agree a second opinion would be best. Best of luck to you!
