tli test .help
as a few of you know ,tigger was diagnosed epi,and acute pancreatis 5 weeks ago,she was given a tli test and it came back normal,but all other tests said that was what she had,she was given a course of tablets,called oxcytetracycline,but they was making her fit so after 3 weeks we stopped them,then the vet thought shed got portosystemetic shunt,which thank god she hadnt,so we asked the vet to run another tli test,well the results came back today,as again normal,so the pathologist suggested she has a pancreas blockage,thus she was producing the enzymes but they wasnt reaching the digsetive system,and by giving enzymes we are making the block worse,but by taking her off them we could give her another bout of acute pancreatis,(sorry this is so long)but the vet and the lab have said theyv never seen a worse case of pancreatis,and this problem is just making things worse,well the best about all this is i changed tiggers diet to the raw diet 2 weeks ago and she has put on 4 k ,also the operation to un-block the pancreas is specialist surgery,and our vet said she doubt theres a vet in ireland that would take it on.she is going to send all our blood results to dr stein in florida who specialises in internal dog medicine to see if she can come up with anything as our vets have hit a brick wall,does anyone know anything that might be of a help to us?
