I know i did not spell this right..but i was wondering if anyone knows how they might get this.My baby did not feel good monday and tuesday when i got home work about 2 pm there was blood all over my house.he was pooping pure blood. scared me so bad i could barely drive to get him to the vet. they done test, and said it was pancreitis and wanted to know what i have fed him.he only gets dog food and treats and occasionally fruit or veggies.I know all the things they cant have and am very careful not to let him have them. he also ask if he may have got into some of my meds.and i dont take any so that could not be it either. but he is doing alot better now and i want to prevent this from happening again. so if you have any other info on this would be grateful to know.

Yorkies are prone to pancreatitis. Fatty foods are usually what trigger an attack. Here is some information for you:

I am so glad he is doing better. Pancreatitis can be very serious, even fatal.

Thank you so much for the info,it was very helpful,he had liver surgery a year ago so that might have put him at risk. He spent a night in the hospital and the vet said it was very life threatening. I'm so glad he is doing better,i just could not imagine the worst.

They can get this even if they don't eat anything they shouldn't so don't beat yourself up thinking you did something wrong

Fashionlady · 04-26-2009, 11:30 AM

my baby as it too. She never had the blood but she throw up alot. she is going in for a scope to test her for IBS. Glad you baby is better!! It is very painful for them. i feel soo bad for Sophie when she has a bad day. And she get nothing but her dog food. Not even treats at this point. it is my understanding that they don't really know what causes it. My vet speicalist says it is hard to treat as they don't really have any meds for it. They just stop anything by mouth for 24-48 hrs.

mscat · 04-26-2009, 02:07 PM

WOW, this is a horrible illnes. Espeically when it really is not something that can be caused be anything ? But diet? and that is not always accurate? I hope all of your Yorkies are going to make a full recovery and not have any more attacks. Very sorry that they are ill. My thoughts arnd prayers are going out to each and everyone of them.

Glad to her she is doing better!!!

Izzy Princess · 04-27-2009, 09:00 AM

Oh just seeing this and so happy to hear that Katie is coming home. Izzy was diagnosed with pancreatitis last November and she had another episode in April. She is strictly on a low fat (8% or less) diet - no treats except Cheerios once in a while. It's scary and hope that she does not get it again. I also have her on supplements to help her out - to get the nutrients she needs while being on the Science Diet W/D.

Keep us posted on your baby.

Glad your baby is doing better...This is such a terrrible diagnosis the amount of episodes can be controlled w/ diet.
When my last YORKIE had it, my vet ALSO said it could be cause by dogs eating "decomposing" tissue, (meaning dead animals)

So check your yard for dead birds and such.....Our lil ones can get in the worst trouble when were not around...
