The vet competed an ultra-scan and found that she did have minor pancreatitis with elevated levels in her blood counts. About $500 bucks later and some antibiotics she is again making us laugh. Since we have no children, I didn't bat an eye when he told me the cost. She is our family member and my conscience wouldn't allow me to blow thousands on a Pcar and let my best friend die because I want to be cheap!! Vets are underpaid for the job they perform. Doctors patience can tell them what is ailing them....good luck trying to get a dog to talk.

Good one.
