So glad that Sammy is getting better! What a scare! One time, my German Shepherd counter-surfed & got the cat's food - unfortunately it was in a glass dish. I came home to shattered glass & no kitty kibbles. Off to the emergency vet who told us they can't see glass on an x-ray but he didn't seem uncomfortable when they palpated his abdomen. He turned out to be OK & kitty now eats out of plastic.

Pancreatic problems are often seen after Thanksgiving when people let their dogs lick up the fat-laden roasting pan or give Fido the fat parts that nobody eats.
