Had a rough week last week...last Monday I had a full abdominal hysterectomy, was in hospital for 3 days and during this time my little rascal was sick. I felt so helpless...I couldnt do anything! Hubby took em to vet last monday....vet said it was intestional infection. Rascal was running a 104 fever...gave meds and bounced back quickly. Fast forward--Friday nite he had another fever, NO VETS would answer their phone, had to rush him and hour away to an ER vet...got me for 337.00 and told me nothing...took him back to my vet yesterday morning and he told me it could possibly be pancreatitis...so he sent me and hour and a half away to the Univerisity of Tuskeegee Animal Hospital. VERY GOOD place. They told me Rascal was not dehydrated, he wasnt throwing up and they told me he had a mild mild case of pancreatitis. Sent us home with meds and some special food and said NO FATTY FOODS and just the food and boiled chicken and rice.
He has perked up since he has had his meds, but will not eat that canned food at all. So my question is...what else can he have. I know the boiled chicken and the rice. He is eating the boiled chicken breast and eating it pretty good now, so is that ok until he gets better? They told me after 5 to 7 days, he can go back on his regular dry kibble, so is boiled chicken enough to feed his pancreas?
Thank you for any help! Here is my little guy:
