Pancreatic cancer

Nassem N. Naimi Boxer bitch, diabetic with pancreatitis the owner is human MD. so as usuall he gave her EVERYTHING and after the bitch was over dosed by everything... he appeared to us she was for sure overdosed by Ciprofluxacine 500mg (the dog is 20 kg and the dose it 5 mg/kg) so the dog after a while had Acitis on blood chemisty it showed that Amylase increased and ALT and the rest are increased ... which suggest liver on X-ray which we he did in another clinic we couldnt see anything Except Gas filled intestine we couldn't see the liver (he took the body in 4 sections with a V.bad quality X-ray's.
so Suggestions as the dog is still having pancreatitis in addition to the liver and Diabetes.
we gave him R.Lactate 500 ml.. Fursamide (Lazix)... Metronidazole 200mg ...Human B12... what else :D

    • Nassem N. Naimi
      OK finally the results
      Creatinine 1,18 mg/dl
      Bilirubin 0.17 mg/dl
      Alt 375 u/l
      AST 166 u/l
      GGT 62 u/l
      Amylase 2386

      About Ciprofluxacine I know the dose is 5 mg and toxic dose is 50 mg but it is very confusing.
      to tell you the truth I am not the one who is following this case my partner does so she diagnosed her for Pancerititis , ( I also don't know why with diabetic animal.. but she is very good and I trust her judgment)

      and liver disease I think chemistry results... are good indication but Bilirubin :S is NOT :@

      In short.... HELP
