As a result I took her to the vets yesterday, her bloods have come back showing infection/damage to the liver, they say they now have to do further tests to the blood to see whether it could be secondary infection, the Pancreas.
We are now awaiting outcome to see if she should have a liver scan.
Poor Mitsi, You could ask this question to the folks on Border Terrier World, some very knowledgeable and experienced BT owners on there they might be able to help. As a BT owner myself I know what you must be going through they are such tough little devils if they look sick- they are really sick, good luck to you and Mitsi.
Pancreatitis is usually painful. Jabulile was very poorly Christmas 2009.
Vets gave her Omeprazole and Tramadol (for the pain) this seemed to keep her symptoms at bay. She got very distressed and we were at the vets twice on Christmas day.
Once under control she just had Omeprazole for a few weeks. We then changed her food to "Burns" which is a more holistic food and low fat. She has the chicken and brown rice.
Jabulile has done well on it.
Hoping it isn't Pancreatitis and that Mitsi soon picks up.
Mitsi has to go to the vet's tomorrow morning to give another blood sample.
She has been very quiet today which is very unusual her, drank but hasn't eaten her normal amount of food, also has had some gut discomfort like gripping pains but at the moment seems OK.
Hi Broom.
Sorry your growler is poorly,no nothing about the problems but, Zulurita mentions "Burns" dog food, all i can say is that our Claire feeds Bertie and Belle on Burns,as it is very highly regarded in the dog health world. Best of luck,hope she is on the mend allready. Stay well,stay lucky.
Sassy dog n Jented.
It is worth checking out the sell by date on all dog food as codliver/fish oil is often added if it is past it's sell by date it can cause liver damage, take a look.
Quote from above
Many dogs with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have concurrent inflammation of the liver/bile system and the pancreas. This suite of symptoms is called “triaditis.”
Hope this helps.

Keep us updated Broom. I can imagine how you are feeling right now.
How old is she ?
