Cry Roxy is sick, either Pancreatitis or Disc Issue

Please keep Roxy in your prayers...

She has been acting very, very docile and just 'off' the last couple of days. She is normally a high stress anxiety energizer bunny. We weren't sure if her LP or back was bothering her. This morning she was screaming when I came too close to her on the bed. She had diarrhea last night and slimy mucus poop this morning.

Took her to the Vet, explained everything and he could see she was 'guarded' and her stomach was tight. They took an x-ray. He showed me how her stomach and intestine lining was very thick and she had lots of gas. So he said possible Pancreatitis. Then he showed me one disc in her back that the space is close. No stones in her bladder, liver looks a little small (he said) and her knees are good, just a little arthritis, but that is expected.

She is eating ok, which is good. But I have noticed that she isn't peeing like she normally does, that's why I thought maybe a stone.

So we did a full CBC blood work panel and will get results tomorrow. She is on Metro 2x a day, until we get the blood work back, and then he will tell me more....If she doesn't get better with this, then we have to move over to possible spine/back issues...

I am sad, bc she has lost her glow
