Not sure how much more I can take
He has just barely recovered from the last pancreatitis episode the week before Christmas, although he doesn't quite have his appetite back yet (not that that is a bad thing for huge o boy). Like I said - I know its minor, but when I felt it this morning (and it wasn't there a week ago) I really felt like I had been kicked in the stomach. He is a wonderful dog with a very stable personality, but every time I turn around it seems like he has yet a different issue going on. I can't train him anymore on a regular basis because I never know when he can go to class or not - right now I am doing semiprivate classes. Me and Dan and tow or three of our dogs (depending on how Morgan feels that day  ) And forget trialing, although as I told Kristine - he is the rain-man of obedience, such a shame.
well, thanks for letting me vent. We have (another) vet's appointment on Saturday (I couldn't take any more time off to go before work this week). |

| Maybe just drain the cyst instead of removal? yeah, they come right back up.
My OES are getting lumpy too. Yours is awfully young for all this. |
Poor guy! 
Marley is also 4 and has had three cysts drained in the past few months, so I can totally empathize. It's very frustrating that there's nothing you can do about them comin back. |

My OES are getting lumpy too. Yours is awfully young for all this. Yeah he is also awfully young for the thyroid condition (been on a high med dose since two) and the last year or so with the pancreatitis and now liver involvement make him probably the most expensive dog I have ever had. |

I am sorry Kerry. It is so awful when they have medical issues and at such a young age.  |
| oh bless that is a pain....hope he gets better perhaps it is just a bad patch xxx |
| ahhhhhhhhhh the poor boy. |
Fingers and paws crossed for a simple solution.  |
| Prayer's and best wishes......... |
| Kerry, have you ever tried adding milk thistle? It's cheap and does a good job of supporting the liver. I used it for Beau when he was on cancer meds. |
| Poor Morgan
I really was hoping he would have some good luck here pretty soon.  |

It is on our next Nature's Farmacy order - just need to get to payday 
Actually i am feeling better about the liver counts since my Internet research has found considerable mention of pancreatitis causing high liver enzymes. I assume if we keep the pancreatitis under control ( magic wands anyone) we can help keep the liver enzymes down - since the liver is the one organ that regenrates we should be okay. Now about the cysts...... |
| Poor fellow. |
