The kitten is a tiny, skinny little thing at 5 weeks old, but he must have hit the injection site and Joey being the little drama boy he is, became fearful of that pain. Believe me, I would rush to Oradell if I were that worried. I feel better now. Joey is drinking water nicely and going outside to potty again. He is stable right now. I don't know the symbol for the lipase test and so bear with me and I will now post more test results.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see a Lipase level at all and according to our bloodwork levels, the amylase isn't high at all. These two results are generally an indicator of pancreatitis.
According to my bloodwork results, all these results are within normal limits, except hemoglobin which is actually high, and cholesterol which is slightly low.
A SPEC cPL is a Canine GI Panel and involves a serum Spec cPL level, a Trypsin-like Immunocreact (TLI), Cobalamine (b12) and Folate levels. This is the true test to confirm pancreatitis or other intestinal issues.
I know it is very imtimidating, but learn what these tests mean if high or low. Pancreatitis can be a lifetime problem. A low-fat food, in addition to reading all labels for treats and not adding flax seed or fish oil can be instrumental in managing.
