Pancreatitis & Diabetes In Dogs Can Pancreatitis In Dogs Be Spread From One Pet To Another?

Can Pancreatitis in dogs be spread from one pet to another? – pancreatitis & diabetes in dogs


We have taken our dog, a few months. Toward the end, he developed pancreatitis (among many other things, he has) in recent years, such as diabetes and epilepsy. We have) a new dog (dog and I’m cleaning the teeth with the toothbrush you use up on my other dog’s teeth clean. I know it can be like a good idea, but never a toothbrush that often anyway. He was only 4 when we settled. Is it possible that pancreatitis can my dog to spread my ex-dog again with the same toothbrush? I prefer when a veterinarian, veterinary technician, or even someone with experience in biology could answer this question. Thank you.


Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (Maldigestion)


It is a common belief that a hungry dog is a healthy dog. While things are not quite this simple, it is true that a decrease in appetite is an important symptom that should be taken seriously.


But what if your dog is TOO hungry?


A ravenous appetite, particularly when combined with weight loss, can be just as important to note. Medical causes of increased appetite in dogs range from internal parasites to diabetes to bowel diseases.


If your dog is unusually hungry and yet keeps loosing weight, something is amiss.


Today we’ll take a look at exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI).


Exocrine pancreatic insuffiency (EPI) is the inability to properly digest and therefore absorb food due to a lack of digestive enzymes made by the pancreas.


(source: Wikipedia)


Meet the pancreas


The pancreas doesn’t get a lot of publicity . That is until it decides to stop running smoothly. Pancreatitis, diabetes … quite a trouble-maker.

So what does the pancreas do when it works properly?


The pancreas is a glandular organ tucked in next to your dog’s stomach and small intestine. It has two important functions endocrine (hormone producing) and exocrine (enzyme producing).


Endocrine pancreatic cells secrete hormones that regulate blood sugar (e.g., insulin and glucagon). The exocrine pancreas produces digestive enzymes that are released into the small intestine.  Some of these enzymes are:



  • amylase (digestion of carbohydrates)

  • lipases (digestion of fats)

  • trypsin and proteases (digestion of proteins)



When the pancreas fails to supply these enzymes, your dog cannot properly digest the food he eats.


That’s why this condition is often referred to as maldigestion.


When food is not digested properly, it cannot be absorbed by the intestinal tract. So, regardless of the amount of food ingested, your dog’s body doesn’t get the nutrition that he needs.


Untreated or misdiagnosed dogs with EPI, may die a painful death either by starvation or organ failure.


The most common cause of EPI is pancreatic acinar atrophy, a fancy name for a shriveled up, dysfunctional pancreas. Genetics plays a role is some cases, particularly in the German Shepherd breed.


The most obvious symptoms of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency are:



  • weight loss in spite of voracious appetite

  • frequent soft, greasy, clay-colored stools

  • coprophagy  (eating of feces)

  • dry, flaky skin



Your vet will need to run blood and/or fecal tests to determine if EPI is causing your dog’s symptoms.


Fortunately, many dogs with EPI that are fed a highly digestible diet and supplements containing the missing enzymes  do very well, but treatment does have to continue for the rest of their lives.


The most important point is to pay attention to your dog’s symptoms.


It’s your dog’s health,
Jana

Medications to Ease Pancreatitis in Dogs

Medications to Ease Pancreatitis in Dogs


Inflammation of the pancreas, or pancreatitis, has several causes and can be sudden or chronic. When the pancreas is inflamed, its normal functioning is disrupted and regular pancreatic enzymes become toxic to the pancreas. Withholding food, fluid therapy and medications encompass treatment options for this painful condition. Dogs need hospitalization for proper monitoring during acute pancreatitis, but monitoring chronic pancreatitis varies, depending on the case.


Fluids and Nutritional Support



    Vomiting and anorexia, two common signs of pancreatitis, cause dogs to become dehydrated. Lactated ringers or 0.9 percent sodium chloride solutions given intravenously or by injections under the skin will correct dehydration. Long-term food withdrawal requires enteral nutrition, defined as liquid supplementation given through stomach or nasal tubes. The liquid diet is made by pharmaceutical companies to be nutritionally optimal and its medical formulation includes proteins, fats, minerals, vitamins, amino acids, and fatty acids.



Anti-Vomit Medications



    Pancreatitis frequently causes dogs to vomit. The vomiting can lead to dehydration, physical exhaustion, and aspiration pneumonia. Anti-vomiting medications, antiemtics, are prescribed by veterinarians to control the impulse. Antichoinergic drugs block pathways from the intestinal tract to the vomiting center. Antihistamines block nerve transmission to the vomiting center and serotonin antagonists block the chemoreceptor trigger zone to cease vomiting. Also, butophanol, a sedative, works directly on the vomiting center.



Pain Medications



    Pancreatitis is a very painful condition. The swelling of the pancreas causes abdominal organ displacement and abdominal pain. Injections of pain medications should be given for the duration of pancreatitis. Opioids, such as fentanyl or morphine, are considered the best pain medications for pancreatitis, but meperidine and butorphanol can be used as well. Also, abdominal infusions of lidocaine or bupivacaine alleviate abdominal pain.



Enzyme Supplements



    When digestive enzymes become activated within the pancreas, due to injury of disease, the enzymes begin digesting the pancreas itself. Benefits have been shown from giving oral enzyme supplementation, such as Viokase. These additive enzymes seem to function on the feed-back mechanism within the intestines. Since the intestines sense digestive enzymes present, they relay the message to the pancreas telling it to cease enzyme production, thus decreasing enzyme production within the pancreas.



Lipid Regulators



    Some dogs have a metabolic problem that prevents proper clearing of fat from the blood stream. It is called hyperlipemia, which contributes to the development of pancreatitis. A low-fat diet and the use of statin medications help control levels of fat, or lipids, in the bloodstream. Statins, such as Levacor, Zocor, Pravachol, and Lipitor, block the enzyme in the liver that is responsible for making cholesterol, lowering blood lipids.



Pancreatitis in Dogs

We are approaching that time of the year when pancreatitis becomes a problem… Thanksgiving.


Owners feed their dogs too many fatty foods, often times turkey skin, or for my breed–Weimaraners–they steal fatty foods, which leads to sickness. Pancreatitis is anecdotally more common Weimaraners, as is counter surfing!


Whenever my dogs get any highly fatty foods, I usually follow that up by giving them a digestive enzyme with Pancreatin. Pancreatin is a combination of the enzymes amylase, lipase, and protease. My first two weims got pancreatitis several times. It is VERY painful for the dog and nearly killed them. Since I began my regimen of giving digestive enzymes after consumption of fatty foods, there has been no reoccurrence of the problem.


Be aware of the symptoms and what to do about it. Following is an excerpt from an article. You can read the full article here.


“Acute pancreatitis is characterized by the abrupt onset of vomiting and severe pain in the abdomen. The dog may have a tucked-up belly and assume a prayer position. Abdominal pain is caused by the release of digestive enzymes into the pancreas and surrounding tissue. Diarrhea, dehydration, weakness, and shock may ensue.


The diagnosis can be suspected based on a physical examination. It is confirmed by blood tests showing elevated amylase and/or lipase levels, along with a new serum test called canine pancreatitis lipase immuninol reactivity and TAP (trypsinogen activation peptide). Abdominal ultrasonography may reveal an enlarged and swollen pancreas.


Mild pancreatitis produces loss of appetite, depression, intermittent vomiting, and diarrhea and weight loss.”


Please keep an eye on your dog around the holidays and don’t leave that turkey or ham on the table unattended!

Update on Ziggy"s progress ...

Update Tuesday:


Ziggy is doing well. He has progressed to where they were trying him on a little fluid this afternoon. No vomiting, no diarrhea. Still a while to go, but good to date. I hope to visit him Wednesday.
 
A few have asked how to manage this on an ongoing basis. From what I have read, and what the vet nurse has told me, it will be a low fat diet. As I mentioned in the previous post, Ziggy’s diet was pretty good anyway. But maybe he is predisposed to the condition. Who knows these things? His digestion wasn’t great and his farts could clear a room (in fact I have had to go inside when he has farted outside), so a new diet may make that better.
 
The one thing I wasn’t sure about (and I have wondered this a little over the years) was how Bella (the second dog) would cope without Ziggy, top dog. She is fine.
 
Me? Well, let’s say I lost a little sleep last night. And I jumped a mile when my personal mobile went off when driving this morning.  But Ziggy is in good hands, I like the veterinary staff and Ziggy certainly liked them when he went there for doggy daycare. Not sure if his opinion will change now though.


Update Wednesday:
 
Ziggy is progressing well. He tolerated water yesterday and today it is food. If that goes well he can come home tomorrow Thursday. If he needs constant watching though, I will ask for him to stay at the vet til I finish work Friday so I can watch him over the weekend.
 
I asked if I could visit Ziggy today and was told it was best not to. Apparently he took quite a while to settle and while the IV is still in they don’t want him to move around and be unsettled again. Which he would do if I visited him. I know – he would want to jump up and so on. The vet nurse must have heaved a sigh of relief when I said I understood, that I didn’t want to upset Ziggy, and visiting him would be to meet my needs more than his.
 
All good news with him getting better. I just don’t know if I will be getting him to go back to doggy daycare though … it’s in the same building, with the same staff, as the vet!   :-)



Common Foods That Are Harmful Or Even Fatal to Dogs


Many common foods are actually harmful or even fatal to dogs. Some of these (listed below) will surprise you. Others are things you would never give your dog purposefully, but now you will be more careful to not let them be in your dog’s reach. And some just need to be limited to small amounts. 



clip_image002Halloweento NewYear’s is an ongoing holiday and party season. It can be fun and include your pets as long as their safety is considered.


Harmful foods, toxic decorations, plants like Poinsettias, scary noises, new people, crowds, unsupervised children, lack of supervision so they can get out, flammable and otherwise unsafe costumes and hot lamps, lights and candles are among the worrisome items on the pet problem list of the season.


Here are the common foods that are harmful or even fatal to dogs:


avacados are toxic to dogs Avocados (fruit, pit, and plant) are toxic to dogs. Avocados contain a toxic component called persin, which can damage heart, lung and other tissue in many animals. They are high in fat and can trigger stomach upset, vomiting and even pancreatitis. Symptoms of toxicity include difficulty breathing, abdominal enlargement, abnormal fluid accumulations in the chest, abdomen and sac around the heart. The amount that needs to be ingested to cause signs is unknown. The effects on dogs and cats are not completely understood. GI signs are commonly seen and should be treated symptomatically. In addition, the animal should be monitored closely for other clinical signs related to the cardiovascular system. (This information comes from veterinarians, the American Veterinary Medicine Association, and the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center.)


avacados are toxic to dogs Bread dough or and dough that rises. Raw Yeast, Bread Dough because it forms gas in the digestive track; fermentation of yeast causes *alcohol poisoning, it can also cause This pertains to all species of pets, but only dogs typically ingest it. It can lead to Distention of abdomen, vomiting, disorientation, diarrhea, lethargy, lack of coordination, difficulty breathing, tremors, coma, seizures and death.  Raw cookie dough can also kill dogs and small children.


onions can be fatal to dogs Onions destroy red blood cells and can cause anemia, weakness, and breathing difficulty. Even small amounts can cause cumulative damage over time. This includes onions or chives – raw, powdered, dehydrated, or cooked.


garlic is harmful to dogsLarge amounts of garlic cause the same problems as onions. Garlic contains only a small amount of the problematic substance that is in onions. Just as with people, moderation is the key.


grapes and raisins can be fatal to dogs Grapes and raisins can cause kidney failure in dogs. As little as a single serving of raisins can kill him. If the dog doesn’t eat enough at one time to be fatal, he can be severely damaged by eating just a few grapes or raisins regularly.


tomatoes can be fatal to dogs Tomatoes (plant and fruit) contain tomatine, an alkaloid related to solanine. As the fruit ripens, the tomatine is metabolized. Therefore, ripe tomatoes are less likely to be problematic for animals. Clinical signs of poisoning include lethargy, drooling, difficulty breathing, colic, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, widely-dilated pupils, paralysis, cardiac effects, central nervous system signs (e.g., ataxia, muscle weakness, tremors, seizures), resulting from cholinesterase inhibition, coma and death. (This information comes from veterinarians, and the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center.) (All parts of the plant except the tomato itself are poisonous to humans, although some people are sensitive to the ripe fruit also.)


Tomatoes also contain atropine, which can cause dilated pupils, tremors, and heart arrhythmias. The highest concentration of atropine is found in the leaves and stems of tomato plants, with less in unripe (green) tomatoes, and even less in ripe (red) tomatoes.


nutmeg is can be fatal to dogs Nutmeg can cause tremors, seizures and death.


caffeine is harmful to dogs Caffeine (from coffee, coffee grounds, tea, or tea bags, sodas) stimulates the central nervous and cardiac systems, and can cause vomiting, restlessness, heart palpitations, and even death within hours.


xylitol sweetener can harm dogs Diet products containing the sweetener Xylitol can cause a sudden drop in blood sugar, resulting in depression, loss of coordination and seizures. Unless treatment is given quickly, the dog could die.


macadamia nuts can harm dogs Macadamia nuts can cause weakness, muscle tremor and paralysis. These symptoms are usually temporary but in extreme cases can lead to permanent paralysis and even death.


walnuts are poisonous to dogs Walnuts. When dogs eat the seed hulls, they can get an upset stomach and diarrhea. The real problem is the fungus or mold that attacks walnuts after they get wet (from rain or sprinklers), which produces toxins. If the fungus or mold is ingested by your dogs, they can become very ill and possibly die. Signs that should alert you to walnut poisoning are vomiting, trembling, drooling, lack of coordination, lethargy, loss of appetite, and jaundice indications such as yellowing eyes and gums. Severely affected dogs can produce blood-tinged vomit or stools. Dogs can take several days to exhibit serious signs of illness.


chocolate can be fatal to dogs Chocolate can cause seizures, coma and death. Baker’s chocolate is the most dangerous. The darker the chocolate, the more dangerous it is. But any chocolate, in large enough amounts, can kill a dog. An ounce of chocolate can poison a 30-pound dog, and many dogs will happily consume more than this. The symptoms may not show up for several hours (and so might make you think all is well), with death following within twenty-four hours. A dog can consume milk chocolate and appear to be fine because it is not as concentrated, but it is still dangerous.


fruit pits are toxic to dogs Apple seeds, cherry pits, peach pits, pear pips, plums pits, and apricot pits contain cyanide, which is poisonous. While a few apple seeds may not cause a problem, the effects can accumulate over time if they are given to dogs regularly. Dogs should not be allowed to chew on a peach pit, cherry pit, apricot pit, or plum pit. Chewing can allow ingestion of cyanide. Chewing could also result in the pit being swallowed, causing continuous exposure to cyanide, or could cause the dog to choke.


too much salt is harmful to dogs Too much salt can cause kidney problems. Also, large breeds of dogs that eat salty food may then drink too much water and develop bloat, which is fatal unless emergency treatment is given very quickly.


too much fat is harmful to dogs Too much fat or fried foods can cause pancreatitis.


ham and bacon are bad for dogs Ham and bacon contain too much fat and too much salt, and can cause pancreatitis. Also, large breeds of dogs that eat salty food may drink too much water and develop a life-threatening condition called bloat. This is where the stomach fills up with gas and within several hours may twist, causing death. The nitrates in ham, bacon, hot dogs and some process lunch meats can also cause pancreatitis, diarrhea and vomiting.


too much liver is harmful to dogs Raw liver or too much cooked liver (three servings a week) can lead to vitamin A toxicity. This can cause deformed bones, excessive bone growth on the elbows and spine, weight loss, and anorexia. Check the label of your canned dog food to be sure that it does not contain liver if you are giving your dog liver also.


wild mushrooms can be fatal to dogs Wild mushrooms can cause abdominal pain, drooling, liver damage, kidney damage, vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, coma, or death.


raw egg whites alone are bad for dogs Raw egg whites contain a protein called avidin, which can deplete your dog of biotin, one of the B vitamins. Biotin is essential to your dog’s growth and coat health. The lack of it can cause hair loss, weakness, growth retardation, or skeleton deformity. Raw egg yolks contain enough biotin to prevent the deficiency, so this is not a problem with raw whole eggs. Raw egg yolks could contain salmonella, so you should get your eggs from a reliable source or cook the eggs.


large amounts of grains are bad for dogs Grains should not be given in large amounts or make up a large part of a dog’s diet, but rice is generally safe in small amounts.


cooked bones can kill dogs Cooked bones can splinter and tear a dog’s internal organs.


dogs need their vegetables cut up Dogs can’t digest most vegetables (carrots, green beans, lettuce, potatoes or yams) whole or in large pieces. Potato peels and green potatoes are dangerous.


dairy products can be harmful to dogs Dairy products are high in fat, which can cause pancreatitis, gas and diarrhea. A small amount of non-fat, plain yogurt is usually safe.


pennies can be fatal to dogs Pennies made from the 1980s to today contain zinc, which can cause kidney failure and damage to red blood cells. A dog that consumes even one penny can become quite sick, or even die, if the penny is not removed.


Note: According to the ASPCA, “Some dogs can eat [avocadoes] without having any adverse reactions. …. The Guatemalan variety, a common one found in stores, appears to be the most problematic. Other strains of avocado can have different degrees of toxic potential.”  The general rule… to follow: No avocados


** Alcohol is  toxic to pets and an absolute NoNo even in the smallest quantities!!**


“My dog ate ______ lots of times and didn’t die, so ______ don’t kill dogs.” That logic is no better than “My dog runs in the street all the time and has never been hit by a car, so dogs never get hit by cars.”

No disrespect to Mr. Smith and After Earth, but what a load of crap. I experienced an unequivocable situation this weekend where both fear and danger were present. I didn’t create the fear through any thought process either. It slithered its way towards me in an effort to end my life.

Kita as a puppy and with a working pancreas.



They say the things you do come back to haunt you. I’m not really sure what I did in my past lives, but my dog Nikita is ensuring I make up for it and then some.


We have two dogs. One male named Apollo, and one female named Nikita. Just so we are clear, by dogs I mean 100 pound furry humans. Apollo comes up to my knee, and Nikita isn’t too far behind. I’m sure from the Triple Threat’s perspective they resemble horses more than dogs.

We are a musically inclined family.  If you interpret this to mean we enjoy good clean fun like the The Itsy Bitsy Spider or practicing our musical instruments you need to adjust your expectations.


What I’m talking about is more along the lines of an iPod, some Bose speakers and little breakdancing.  Nothing like quality family time.


Yesterday while driving home from daycare Nelly’s Ride Wit Me came on the radio.  This took me back to my happy place as I recounted all the wonderful times I had in college.  I turned up the volume, sang right along, and danced as much as you can while operating a motor vehicle.


No big deal right?

The Triple Threat can’t swim. 


I don’t think this is highly unusual considering their age.  However, we want to take a vacation next year to Florida and the thought of them surrounded by drowning hazards with no evasive skills is disconcerting. 


With this in mind Craig and I (well, mainly just I) have decided to utilize our community pool this summer.  Besides, we have to pay HOA fees each year and this is the only perk included in our neighborhood.   We are too cheap to live in a neighborhood with basketball and tennis courts or community playgrounds.
