I'm truly sorry to hear your dog is going through this, and I completely understand how worried you must feel right now. Pancreatitis, which is inflammation of the pancreas, can certainly be concerning, but with the right care, many dogs recover well.
This condition can develop due to a high-fat diet, certain medications, or even unknown causes. It leads to abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and lethargy. In the hospital, your dog will receive supportive care, which might include IV fluids, pain relief, and medication to manage symptoms.
When your dog comes home, there are a few things you can do to help them feel more comfortable. Make sure they stay hydrated by encouraging small amounts of water frequently. You might also need to switch to a low-fat diet based on your vet's recommendations. Rest is crucial, so provide a quiet, comfortable space for your furry friend to recover.
Keep an eye out for signs like persistent vomiting, severe lethargy, or loss of appetite. These can indicate that your dog might need further medical attention.
Feel free to reach out and book a video consult with Dial A Vet to discuss any questions about your dog's recovery or get peace of mind during your dog's hospital stay. You're doing great by seeking help, and we're here to support you and your pup on this journey.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
