Well, this really sucks, Penny has pancreatitis.

Poor Penny Lane! I hope she makes a speedy recovery and that it doesn't come back!

Hope Penny gets better really soon, poor girl. Judge sends his love.

Prayers going out to sweet Penny. Hopes she's feeling better soon!

Is it strange I'm a little jealous of your ability to detect different scents/types of diarrhea?

Um, well, yes, a bit. After working in the ER, I can tell a GI bleed from 20 feet.

Penny sends her love back to her Judge.

Thank you everyone. She has not pooped since late afternoon yesterday - a good thing. The dogtor called and said that there was no giardia or critters in her poop sample, and that the treatment seemed to be working. She has so enjoyed being at work with me and having everyone love all over her. Such a good girl! The encouraging thing is that her diva personality has remained through this entire experience. On the down side, her bottom is beet red and looks so uncomfortable. I'm dabbing a bit of lavender oil on it and it seems to help. Penny sends her woofs to all her aunties and says thanks for the good thoughts. Me too.

Oh I'm so glad she's feeling better. I've been thinking good thoughts for her.

So glad that she is feeling better. This is so scary.

Glad to hear that Penny is starting to feel better. Lavender oil on her poor sore red bottom.......hmmmm.........that's a new one for me.

Oh dear, oh dear. Many hugs to both of you. I can remember when we were all much younger, pushing you to go pick her up, you've both had a lot of miles (including Ohio) since. Hope the recovery is swift with no consequences.

Positive healing thoughts for Penny!!

Glad she's getting better and enjoying all the attention!

I sure hope she continues to do well. That is something that I've never had to deal with for my gang.

Nancy, I'm just seeing this thread. I'm so glad the treatment is working for your
beautiful diva girl! Feel better soon Miss Penny Lane!

Continued thoughts of healing for Penny.

whew - sounds like our Diva has turned the corner. Give her a few more gentle hugs from me!

any chance you can continue taking her to work with you after she's fully recovered?

Aww Miss Penny I'm so sorry you aren't feeling well. Sending lots of hugs and kisses to your girl.

Glad to hear that Penny is feeling a bit better, Nancy. Here's to her continued recovery.

I so wish I could, but my manager with whom I share an office brings her dog in and, well, we know how Ms. Thang is with other dogs. Would get ugly.

Again, thank you all for your good thoughts and prayers. She is still her feisty self, no more diarrhea, but some gas that would knock a buzzard off a dump truck. She's more confused about the move than anything else (we are moving across the hall to a 2-bedroom - more on that later in Small Talk).

And, on the good poop news side, she has had 1 semi-formed poops that were pick-up-able from the grass! Good color, no foul odor!!!!! Where else would there be a bunch of people so obsessed with poop?

I'm really happy to hear that Penny is feeling better. I hope her recovery speeds right along. Love from Millie and me.
