Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. The symptoms look more of gastroenteritis than pancreatitis. Loose stools are mostly seen in gastroenteritis.  Still you can get her serum lipase levels checked to rule out pancreatitis. I would suggest that you start her on a course of antibiotic like metronidazole in consultation with your doctor for the prescription. Also give her plenty of fluids to prevent deny Chat Doctor.
