Feline pancretitis
Posted: Sat Mar 19, 2022 8:11 pm
A sneaky insidious disease.
Poor Java, my tuxedo cat has not eaten for four days, and is vomiting so much he has become dehydrated. The vet gave him fluids, and an anti-nausea shot, and gave me some pills for the next few days..antibiotics, tramadol and more anti-nausea meds.
He said if he doesn’t eat by Monday night, I will have to make a hard decision, as the body will start to basically eat itself. They can hospitalize him for two days, run a bunch of tests to confirm the diagnosis ($1200.00), then they can treat him for a few more days ($1200.00), or I can let him rest. Java will not take the pills, nor have I been able to get a syringe of dissolved meds in fluid into him. He is al least getting some water in him, but no food yet.
I am not having a good week.

Tell him to cut way back on his vodka intake.
