Lois Lane is an Australian Kelpie mix who we adopted from a local rescue in July of 2006. She's a feisty little girl and one of the smartest dogs we've ever had. Last July, when she was 4 years old, Lois Lane was diagnosed with severe canine pancreatitis. We never believed she would truly pull through, but she did. It was a very difficult process for her and for us and we hope Lois Lane's story will help shed some light on pancreatitis symptoms so that your dog may not have to go through what Lois did. Knowing the symptoms and getting help right away will be a huge stress reliever - on yourself, your dog and your wallet.
