Jake Update

The Doctor called us yesterday after tests results came in and told us that Jake has Pancreatitis.  I was SO stressed about this.  I am very strict about just giving Jake his dog food and no table food.  But, apparently they can get it from eating something from the yard.  They gave him fluids and meds at the Vet Hospital and after monitoring him for several hours, they let us pick him up in the late afternoon.  He has been put on a special prescription low fat diet and we were told that after a couple months of this, he should be just fine.
Once home, Jake was playing and he ate the new dog food for his dinner with no problem.  You could tell he was no longer in discomfort.  I was relieved, but still will be very watchful of his progress in healing.
