finally plucked up the courage to record the experience of hemp ball pancreatitis, although it has been two and a half years, but at that time, I kept every scene in mind. It was the first time I raised a dog and the first time I encountered such a serious disease. Thank you for helping my friends and doctors at that time!
For me, pets are not just "property", they are family members (I don't like to use "it" to represent pets, because in my opinion, hemp is my child), I am a member of the family I love with my heart. I believe most people think and do so.
Causes of 1. Dogs
From the Internet, the causes of pancreatitis are usually the following:
1, canine obesity or long-term consumption of high-fat food
2. Suffering from hyperlipidemia (schnery is related to this)
3. Steroid-treated sick dogs or high superior gland cortical dysfunction
4. the internal pressure of pancreatic duct rises, resulting in no outflow of pancreatic juice in dogs.
5, pancreatic duct obstruction (duodenitis, edema, tumor, or abnormal movement of parasites)
6, infection (ascending intestinal bacteria, canine small virus infection, toxostomy, or pancreatic vermin)
7, abdominal damage or surgery
8, pancreatic ischemia, hypotension or embolism
9, hypercalcemia
Briefly introduce the situation before the onset of hemp cluster in my family, which was the summer of 2016:
on July 17, my husband and I decided to send hemp to foster care for a week out of work considerations.
On July 23, out of guilt, I bought about 1.00kg fat and lean beef. I sliced it without removing the fat and made it into beef jerky with an air dryer.
on July 24, I took the delicious beef jerky to pick up the hemp ball and went home.
on July 25, after eating all the dried meat, the hemp ball was still not satisfied and began to pick food.
on July 26, hemp ball refused to eat dog food in the morning. we thought it was picky food, so we mixed dog food with canned food, which contained meat and peas (thanks to peas, I will say why below). When walking around at night, we thought she had gastroenteritis and fed smecta but it didn't work.
on July 27, in the early morning of the morning, we thought we were hungry, so we said to her, "I told you not to eat, be hungry." Such asshole words.
on July 28, when walking around in the morning, the hemp ball was not in good spirits and his voice was hoarse (it was later discovered that it was caused by abdominal pain). In the evening, the hemp ball still has no spirit, pulling black and thin with blood. There are peas eaten on the 26th in the vomit, and the anal temperature is 41 ℃.
I immediately sent photos of vomit and excrement to my doctor friend. After listening to my explanation, she gave a quick reply: go to the hospital immediately, it may be pancreatitis. On the way to the hospital, I have been looking up the cause of pancreatitis. I seriously suspect that it is caused by beef jerky (unfortunately, I don't have any photos of beef jerky, that is, each piece carries fat meat and touches oil).
At 8:55 pm, hemp was diagnosed as acute pancreatitis.
2. Pancreatitis Treatment Process
After the diagnosis, the doctor immediately gave hemp tuan anti-inflammatory and antiemetic injections, telling me that hemp tuan should be cut off from food and water, and started infusion from the 29th. That night I sent WeChat to the leader to ask for leave.
on July 29, I took the hemp ball to the gate of the hospital at 7: 30 a.m. to wait. I really regret it. Why am I so ignorant? While waiting for the door to open, I have been crying with her on the bench (I wrote that tears flowed down unconsciously).
around 8: 30, the hospital opened to make preparations. doctors and nurses quickly let me in and arranged hemp infusion.
Ma Tuan hated the cage most, but at the moment she didn't even have the strength to resist in the cage. She shaved her right front leg and buried needles (the old mother's tears fell all over the ground again).
The first day of infusion, 10 hours. Ma Tuan has been trembling slightly because of abdominal pain. When the pain is too bad, she cries in a low voice. Every cry makes my heart ache even more. I wish I could suffer for her.
although hemp has not eaten or drank water for two days, don't worry, because one of the fluids is specially used for rehydration and won't dehydrate dogs.
intermittent infusion with hemp ball to go to the toilet, or pull black excrement with blood, after pulling hemp ball pulled me to run in the direction of the car, she wanted to go home (old mother's tears... you know).
the infusion ended at 7: 00 p.m. in the evening, I took the hemp ball home and was not hospitalized.
July 30, the next day infusion, 5 hours. As usual, I arrived early in the morning, because it was Saturday, my husband and brother went to the hospital with me.
hemp group has a sick friend today. Yorkshire children were diagnosed with pancreatitis on the same day. eating canned food and not eating dog food every day is probably the cause. The doctor said that I could drink some water today. Ma Tuan did not vomit after drinking water, but the poop was still not good.
On July 31, Ma Tuan was in good spirits in the morning and would look at me and smile ~ but he still has to report to the hospital today.
on the third day of infusion, for 4 hours, the doctor said that he could take medicine and recuperate at home. he could feed some bread slices and prescription food. he ate less and did not vomit! So happy!
Recovery stage of 3. pancreatitis
The recovery phase of pancreatitis is mainly to take medicine on time and take prescription food (royal low-fat digestible, Hills I/d) to recuperate. The following is an introduction:
Drugs taken: British pet treasure LYPEX lipis dog cat polyenzyme pancreatitis a box of 60 tablets
dosage: 2 tablets per day
administration cycle: 1-2 months
price: 18 yuan/tablet, a box of about 1080 yuan (impression)
purchase route: animal hospital
function: pancreatitis capsule is a unique pancreatin supplement for animals. it uses the technology in the field of human medicine to make high-purity and high-concentration pancreatic enzymes into particles instead of powder. more importantly, each particle is covered with enteric coating, which can protect digestive enzymes by 100 from being damaged by gastric acid degradation and ensure that the maximum amount of digestive enzymes reach the site of action-small intestine, so as to help digestion and improve absorption, prevent diarrhea. Within 10 minutes, the microgranules in the capsule can enter the alkaline environment of the small intestine through the stomach. At this time, the protective casing is dissolved and the pancreatin in the microparticles is released, thereby helping digestion and enhancing absorption.
Main ingredients:
1. Lipase assists fat digestion
2, amylase effectively decompose and absorb sugars
3, protease enhanced protein digestion and absorption
Consumption of prescription food: royal low-fat and easily digestible
dosage: about 120g per day (depending on the dog's condition and food intake, my family was about this one day at that time)
dosage: recommended 3 months
purchase route: animal hospital

The crude fat of this prescription grain is ≥ 5%, which is very suitable for pancreatitis patients to eat, and pancreatitis is also said to be edible in the product introduction.
edible prescription food: hills I/d digestive system care prescription food (for dogs)
Origin: USA
For diseases: diseases of the digestive system, such as colitis, constipation (no response to fiber therapy), diarrhea, pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, gastroenteritis, dyspepsia, pancreatitis (non-hyperlipidemia), vomiting, gastrointestinal surgery
purchase route: e pet
hils' agent is in Taiwan. my husband contacted a friend in Taiwan and asked her to send it back to Beijing (amazing, I contacted shunfeng in Taiwan and said that animal source feed could not be sent back to the mainland, but my husband's friend took care of it!). Later, we found out that E pet was sold, so we didn't buy it from Taiwan.
In order to infusion shaved hair, although not beautiful but stomach pain! Ma Tuan mood is very beautiful.
On August 5, it looks much better, eating the data line! and specially chose a root original gnaw... discerning! Little girl!
On August 11, I couldn't restrain my agitation and went out to play catch the ball! Ma Tuan is very happy! Finally, I can run again ~ but worried about her body, I only played for more than ten minutes.
On August 18, I went to the hospital for a reexamination. Ma Tuan said hello to every doctor and nurse. I was so happy that I was vague.
After checking the indicators are normal.
On August 27, poop was really, really normal! Can't help but take a photo!
On September 4, Hills opened the bag! hemp very want to eat!
Hills are cylindrical particles, each about one centimeter high, and the particles are relatively large (there are small particle versions). palatability is good, hemp ball this picky eaters are very love to eat.
On September 17, although Ma Tuan was still taking medicine and eating prescription food, he basically recovered.
4. Conclusion
The above is the whole process of hemp tuan's illness. The drug was finally stopped in early November, but the prescription food was eaten until the end of December. I will have 3 months to give hemp tuan prescription food to recuperate every year.
the following is a summary of the identification of pancreatitis:
pancreatitis and gastroenteritis are very similar, so it is difficult to distinguish without going to the hospital at the initial stage.
pancreatitis is one of the main symptoms: indigestion, if the hemp ball is not spit out the peas eaten the day before yesterday, the doctor can not immediately judge is pancreatitis.
make a little suggestion: add a wechat to the doctor of the animal hospital near home, and the dog will record, take photos and send them to the doctor in time. I found that many parents found that the dog is sick after either check Baidu or ask the pet group, for example: my dog diarrhea how to do ah? My dog has skin disease with what medicine ah?
only when there is a problem can we find a hospital to get more safe advice, and it will not delay the illness. the quick recovery of hemp group this time is also due to the fact that there is no indiscriminate medical treatment (thank you again for your accurate judgment, otherwise it will really be delayed).
So, if you have any questions, consult your doctor immediately and don't make your own guesses.
Late maintenance experience:
1. dog food is low sensitive and poultry. these foods usually have a low crude fat content of about 15%. you can choose aikenga duck meat pear, newton and Bailey low sensitive.
2, snacks do not eat is impossible... but also to pay attention to the fat content, for high fat content of freeze-dried, sheep ears, deer ears do not consider, daily can give some broccoli, cabbage, sweet potato, give a little (two leaves, 4 broccoli, half a piece of sweet potato), everything is not much.
3, do not give the dog to eat expired, spoiled food.
4, regular physical examination: a physical examination every year.
These are some of my experiences, hoping to provide you with a useful reference.
