Thanks for the questions brought up. Our Jack Russel was sick 2 years ago and we had to rush to the pet ER in Leesburg around 2 am. Same problem as mentioned above. Over a week of treatments and staying at our Vet 2 nights with IV's. She was diagnosed with pancreatitis. We have switched her food to one from the pet store in Palm Ridge and that has helped...also careful where her treats come from because of the China scare.
Our Vet has strongly suggested this problem did start with toxins the dog picked up on her paws; however, it really can't be proven. We are now very careful about letting her out after Massey has been around. Our Massey man is also good about letting us know when he has sprayed different areas in the yard...especially for ants, etc.
