I'll be taking Mickey to the doggy hospital tomorrow. It's been a week and a half since this load of rocks fell on him, and I still haven't been able to step up his food intake so that he can take in enough calories, and it isn't going to get any better if he can't eat enough to maintain his weight. He ate breakfast and lunch, but turned away from dinner, and has been drinking a lot of water. Just spoke with his vet--it's possible that either his pancreas or liver is flaring. Time to call in the specialist.

So sorry to hear about Mickey. I hope he is feeling better soon. There is a group on Yahoo about owners with dogs that suffer from pancreatitis (http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/dogpancreatitis/?v=1&t=search&ch=web&pub=groups&sec=group&slk=4) that you might want to join. My dog has mega-esophagus, and I got a lot of ideas from Yahoo's mega-e group to help me help her feel better. There is also a group called K9Kitchen that is all about making food for a dogs' special dieting needs. Best wishes and good luck.
