Guest 4gryhnds Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Hi, I'm new at this, but not so new with Greys. I have had as many as 6 at one time. My husband and I am now the proud cohabitants of 4...Panda,Carson,Danger,Rocky.... Today I had to leave Panda at our vet because she has severe diarrea. Monday we found out she had Pancreatitis, diarrea can be a symptom. The vet had asked if she had any really rich food in the past 2 weeks.....well about 2 weeks ago she managed to help herself to a large carmel frappachino from Starbucks! That will do it! It was sort of funny at the time, but I did call the vet as soon as it happened concerned that the caffine might harm her. I felt relieved that she had no side affects. But now, 2 weeks later, I realize how harmful it really was. Hopefully the meds he is giving her will relieve her discomfort. The cost of the vet, $$$$ but worth it! I have learned a lesson...don't blink when Panda is in the car with my frappachino! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a very good warning/lesson for those of us who are caffeine dependent with a BIG sweet tooth and have curious greys. Carl has been know to steal a slurp of red wine when I'm not looking. Naughty boy. I hope Panda recovers quickly.
