I'm astonished by the vitriol directed at veterinarians who don't make near the money that MDs so, by people who think nothing of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on playtoy cars. Amazing.

Good luck to your dog.
I agree, unlike Choc. (Mike, I'm surprised at you, Amigo) Oh well...

Having said that, it does sound like it could be pancreatitis but the full set of tests should show it. Pancreatic enzymes would be way high if so. Any rich or fatty food can trigger it and like was said above by my colleague, T'giving turkey scraps are infamous.

I hope you get a good outcome...serious condition and takes time and good care to get him over it.
