Hello. I have a 2 years old samoyed. Three months ago was vomiting a lot and it had dihareea. We were to a vet and he made blood tests that resulted high amylase (1490). The treatment was lypex for 1 month. Then we did again the blood test, tha amylase was still high (1400) and he suggested another month with lypex and virbac gastrointestinal. Yesterday, we did the test again and the amylase is 1690. Please help, we don t know if this is a good treatment. Manny thanks in advance.

Amylase alone raised is. T significant. Did the vomiting and diarrhea get better? Are you still having any issues? If all else is normal then I would stop medicines and see what happens. If the diarrhea never cleared or he is not back to normal then I would pursue further testing of the pancreas such as a TLI or PLI
