Kathleen Q. asked
My 9-year-old boxer is experiencing anal itching and discomfort, which has worsened over the past few days. She has been trying to bite and lick her anal area, and her droppings have been slimy for about a week. This started after she went swimming in the river. Could this be due to anal worms, anal gland issues, or allergies?

Does Rimadyl have a cause/effect relationship with pancreatitis, and would eliminating 1/4 cup of boneless skinless chicken breast meat and 1/4 cup of brown rice from her daily diet help? Additionally, what marker for pancreatitis was positive on her last blood panel, and why was it tested?
