She got much worse and so we took her to the vet and $1700.00 later she's ok...pancreatitis was the diagnosis! Very bad and acute case that could of taken her life. Next time I know not to ever change her food and in fact take food away and offer small amounts of water only. If she doesn't get better, then the vet again. These little one's are #2 for pancreatitis and this is very dangerous for them. Hope this helps!
