So the Dr said no more lamb (which she loves, and I guess I overdid it on her, my fault again ) too rich for her. He also said if she doesn't want to eat, don't force her bc she will eat when she wants, she is not prone to hypoglycemia. So, that means Uni is lose weight again. She is juuuust shy of 6 lbs, and at her self regulating weight she is only a hair over 5, so I guess she will just have to stay there.

Still has not pooped today, just last night, which is good, diahreah is stopping. Ate only about a teaspoon or so of the a/d again. Took her for her regular walk routine and walked fine the first half, second half she walked really slow. Now she's sleeping on her hammock.

So Dr said her case is mild enough to just be regulated with her diet.

PS, whoever suggested the 2 spoons crushing method, thanks! I tried crushing it with just one spoon in the bowl and the pill slipped out and flew across the counter!

Thank you all again for your thoughts. Uni should be back to 100% in a few days!
oh forgot I was going to say do not walk her until she is 100% as her little body needs to heal and pancreatitis is very painful so best to let her just rest for now. The pancreatitis really knocks them out. My mom had it as a human and my grandma and both said it is EXTREMELY painful.
