But veterinarians view this time of year more as the TTS \u2014 the tummy trouble season. The number of dogs rushed to emergency veterinary clinics in the middle of the night due to digestive issues seems to spike during the holidays. And, topping the list of tummy traumas in dogs is a potentially lethal condition known as pancreatitis.<\/p>\n

What is the pancreas?<\/h3>\n
But let\u2019s back up a bit. Let\u2019s first identify the pancreas and why it is so doggone important to your canine. The pancreas is an organ located between the stomach and small intestine.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe pancreas does a lot of complicated and complex things,\u201d says Karl Jandrey, DVM, DACVECC, professor of clinical small animal emergency and critical care at University of California Davis School of Veterinary Medicine in Davis, California. \u201cIts two biggest functions are to secrete enzymes to aid in digestion and to secrete insulin to keep a dog\u2019s blood glucose balanced.\u201d<\/p>\n
A healthy pancreas masterfully helps your dog digest proteins, fats and carbohydrates. When the food consumed is healthy and nutritious, all is good with the canine digestive process.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen something goes wrong with the pancreas, a whole lot of problems can arise,\u201d says Jason Nicholas, BVetMed, chief medical officer and president at The Preventive Vet, based in Portland, Oregon. \u201cProblems with the pancreas can come on suddenly or progress over time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pancreatitis can be acute (sudden onset) or chronic (developed slowly over time). Neither type is welcomed because each can be potentially fatal if not diagnosed or treated promptly and properly.<\/p>\n
When it\u2019s acute<\/h3>\n
\u201cIt is not uncommon for a dog to appear healthy yesterday, and today not want to eat and require hospitalization and aggressive treatment and hospitalization,\u201d Dr. Nicholas says. \u201cAcute pancreatitis can rapidly progress and can rapidly become fatal.\u201d<\/p>\n
A dog dealing with an acute pancreatitis attack often gets into what is called the \u201cprayer posture.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAt first, the prayer posture looks like an inviting play bow, but look closely and you will see that the dog in pain extends his front paws out, arches his back and sticks his butt in the air in an effort to stretch for more room in his abdomen to deal with the building pressure and pain,\u201d Dr. Nicholas says.<\/p>\n
Other classic signs of acute pancreatitis can include:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Loss of appetite<\/em><\/li>\n
- Vomiting<\/em><\/li>\n
- Diarrhea that is often yellow and greasy<\/em><\/li>\n
- Difficulty breathing<\/em><\/li>\n
- Inability to lie down comfortably<\/em><\/li>\n
- Whining or growling when his abdomen
\narea is touched<\/em><\/li>\n- Elevated temperature<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
When it\u2019s chronic<\/h3>\n
Chronic pancreatitis is sneakier, with the condition slowly worsening without noticeable symptoms initially.<\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes, dogs with chronic pancreatitis will exhibit waxing and waning signs of anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal discomfort,\u201d Dr. Jandrey says. \u201cOften, these are short-lived, subtle and resolve, but can return in a few days, weeks or months. Frequent insults to the pancreas like acute bouts can scar the pancreas, so it does not function as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
How do you get it?<\/h3>\n
Pancreatitis has many causes, ranging from genetics, diet, blunt-force trauma and adverse reaction to medications and even due to the presence of other diseases, such as diabetes or hypothyroidism.<\/p>\n
Veterinarians don\u2019t know why, but Miniature Schnauzers, Yorkshire Terriers, Miniature Poodles, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Cocker Spaniels, Collies and Boxers tend to be at the highest risks for this condition. But any dog at any age can develop pancreatitis.<\/p>\n
Dr. Nicholas, known as The Preventive Vet, is on a campaign to keep pets at their healthy best. That\u2019s why he is continuing to educate people to never \u2018treat\u2019 their dogs to fat cut from their steaks, seasoned skin from the roasted chicken or even worse \u2014 bacon grease added to kibble as a gravy.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll of these increase a pet\u2019s risk for pancreatitis,\u201d he says. \u201cIf I could wave a magic wand and eliminate pancreatitis in dogs, one of the biggest causes is people feeding table scraps to their dogs. It is devastating to see their dogs in our hospital in pain, and needing IVs and feeding tubes.\u201d<\/p>\n
How to treat it<\/h3>\n
If your dog is exhibiting symptoms mentioned above, expect your veterinarian to draw blood to evaluate the condition of your dog\u2019s pancreas and other organs as well as detect any signs of infection, inflammation or electrolyte imbalances. Your dog may undergo X-rays, ultrasounds and, possibly, a surgical biopsy to help pin down the condition. The cause of your dog\u2019s abdominal pain, for example, may not be pancreatitis but the fact he swallowed your sock that is discovered in an X-ray.<\/p>\n
The treatment prescribed for your dog depends on the findings as well as your dog\u2019s age and health condition.<\/p>\n
A newer test called the pancreatic elastase-1 (cPE-1) is often used to verify acute pancreatitis in dogs.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are no current medications that are used to specifically treat the disease,\u201d Dr. Jandrey notes. \u201cThe standard of care is still supportive hospitalization to ensure pain control, fluid balance, nutrition and other specific treatments to address unique secondary effects of the pancreatitis.\u201d<\/p>\n
Post-pancreatitis care at home includes working with your veterinarian on a diet that your dog can easily digest and is nutritious. Digestive enzyme supplements as well as salmon oil and probiotics may also be recommended for your dog.<\/p>\n
But do your dog a favor this holiday season and skip the table scraps moving forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease don\u2019t succumb to those begging eyes at your dinner table,\u201d Dr. Nicholas says. \u201cThe best ways to show how much you love your dog is to give them healthy dog treats, exercise them and keep them at ideal weights.\u201d<\/p>\n

Insights Into Pancreatic Cancer<\/h2>\n
In addition to acute or chronic inflammation of the pancreas, some dogs develop cancerous tumors of the pancreas.<\/p>\n
The two main types include:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Adenocarcinomas \u2014 malignant tumors that can appear in the stomach, rectum or intestines in dogs.<\/li>\n
- Insulinomas \u2014 tumors in the pancreas that cause hypoglycemia (low-blood sugar) more so in middle-aged to senior dogs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Primary treatment options for pancreatic cancer are surgery, chemotherapy and dietary management.<\/p>\n
While pancreatic cancer is rare in dogs, the prognosis is poor because often the symptoms are detected only after the fast-growing cancer cells have spread beyond the pancreas to other parts of the body.<\/p>\n
