I am posting this to ask anyone if they have ever had a silimiar situation. I will try to make this short........

My Sam is 11 months old and has been perfectly healthy. On Monday he acted like he did not feel good and had some really smelly rank gas.......which is uncommon for him. Tuesday morning he started to walk with a "arched/humped" back and was in pain so we took him to the vet right away. They took blood..did x-rays and said that it was a GI bug and gave him some shots and medications. By Wednesday morning he clearly was not better so we took him back and this time his AMALYSE and LIPASE were elevated. An ultrasound was done and sent to a specialist who said that he had pancreatitis.

Our vet and this specialist said that Sam needed to be in an intensive care facility and that there was one in Milwaukee Wi that is suppose to be the best. So away we went............now Sam is intensive care and they tell us that they have no idea what is wrong with him. And at this time they feel that it is not pancreatitis. His white blood count is normal so no infection...he is dehydrated and growing weaker and we are just about hysterical with worry. That little guy means the world to us....

So was looking for anyone that might have had a similar situation??
