We were able to bring Sam home tonight! He looks so much better than the other night...still having loose stool, but so far no vomiting. We gave him a carrot and some rice and gave him his medicine. Right now we're just praying he keeps it down. They put him on Royal Canine high fiber low fat food after the 2-3 days of having him on a bland diet (chicken, rice, carrot, maybe baby food).
If all goes well, he goes back to the vet in 5-7 days to have his protein levels checked and maybe a chest x-ray to make sure the fluid is completely gone.
The doctors think this was all related to the pancreatitis. His urine analysis came back normal so kidney functions are good. Next week we'll get back the results for the urine culture and the fluid that was around his lung.
I'm hoping and praying that we've finally overcome this and the next few days will be even better. His spirits are up and you can tell he's just so happy to be home. If we let him he'd probably eat a million carrots, but I need to be a strict mommy from now on!
Thank you again for all of your prayers and I will keep you posted
