So it's been a stressful few days. My baby girl was diagnosed with pancreatitis and an enlarged liver and they stopped her on the macrolone immediately as that can cause it to onset. She was in hospital overnight as she had to go on fluids to flush all the nasty fluid from the pancreas, in her stomach out. She didn't each much all day yesterday, and in the morning the vet called and wanted to keep her in an extra night, however, we went to visit and my baby improved! She even ate something! The vet told us we could bring her home since was improving and has her on broad spectrum antibiotics. We are going back in 2 weeks for a blood test. Praying for the best. So glad to have her home. I missed her.

All booked in for a vet appt tomorrow, I called up and they said it didn't seem like an emergency as she has began eating and drinking again, but they are looking to do some blood work and see if they can find an underlying cause.

Hi there, My border-collie, 12 years old has been on macrolone for about a month now due to a clogged tear duct that wasn't draining. It's returned to normal now, but the vet has us finishing off a course of it, another 6 halves, every second day to go. But I've noticed in the last few days especially now, that my dog has become very withdrawn, she's normally very bubbly and energetic and loves chasing after her squeaky toys, but now she's not doing that. She's also not eating as much, but she is drinking lots and panting. I'm just worried, I don't want to continue giving her the steroids if this is how it's going to affect her. The vet never told me about any possible side effects and its got me really concerned. Any advice? She's only got 3 whole tablets left, which is 6 halves over the course of 12 days, which would make her on steroids for about 1.5-2 months then. Should I just stop it? Thanks!

Hi guys thanks for you advice, her treatment is set to end after these tablets anyways, so would it make much a difference? She's been on this dosage for about 3 weeks now so it can't be withdrawal issues.
