Apparently, it's not pancreatitis

Well, the vet got the first of Snorri-dog's blood tests back yesterday. This is not good. 35 tests were done, apparently, and all results "give cause for concern", and his liver and kidneys are overworking.

My thoughts are that this is the result of his 7 years on phenobarb, but the vet is having more tests done before she rules it in or out.

One way or another, we have one very sick little dog on our hands, and he won't eat anything, either, we've spent a fortune on fat-free foods for him, but nothing seems to tempt him (cod, chicken, tuna, smoked haddock, lamb liver - no thanks!). He has lost 2 kilos and spends most of his time sleeping.

I am almost out of my mind about him, so please excuse me if I post rubbish! (or more than usual).

He has just eaten 2 slices (40 gm) of Honey Roast Turkey, but that's all. Kali is getting fed up of all the nice things which he isn't getting, and his brother won't eat them, despite the alluring smells
