Just keep us and Zack in your thoughts. Zack has come down real sick again.

They said the pancreatitis is back which means he will have it the rest of his life (which we were told may be shortened by a few years but he has always beat the odds so I hope he can live a full long life)

Its now called Chronic Pancreatitis and its basically not fun for him (or us)

He also picked up a small parasite Giardia (which they think caused it to flare up and come back) probably from the other dogs in the complex.

They want us to get Sasha checked out to make sure she didn't pick up the parasite as well.

They said he should feel better in 24 to 48 hours but with this they said you never know. If he isn't better or worse he has to go back in.


What kind of future are we looking at with him?

I mean is this maintainable for the next 10 to 14 years (He is only a year old)?

Will he be in a lot of pain?


What should we expect?

By the way He never gets table scraps (we just don't give them to him), he finally got his weight back up where it needed to be (around 13 or 14 pounds) but now he has gone back down to 8 pounds but he has been eating normally.

He gets plenty of exercise so he is pretty healthy


We don't really know how he got it he just kind of did


We are going to switch him from regular California Naturals to Low Fat

Thats sad... I hope he will survive this problem...

Ill pray for your pet.

My sister's pom suffers from chronic pancreatitis....and has done for a while now.

He has no issues providing he stays on his strict diet, he has special food (i'm not sure what its called), and he can not deviate off it at all, or he ends up with an attack, which horrid to witness and for him to experience.
