did they confirm this diagnosis by cpli test or just a blood panel ? |
Hello, they did an ultrasound and bloodwork on my baby to determine his pracreatitis...He was not dehydrated or vomitting, and they let him go home. He seems to be doing a bit better, he is wanting to play a bit and he ate 2 pieces of his regular kibble, but I took it away from him (I have 2 other babies in the house) and I fed him boiled chicken. He has his appetite back. I have to continue the meds for 3 more days and take him back to vet next Wednesday for bloodwork to see how much its improving.
He wont touch that ID canned food, so I guess I will continue to feed him chicken. I might get some turkey breast and see how that does...is that ok? After he gets his meds gone, they said I can return to his regular kibble.
He only weighs a precious 5 pounds, so I hope he comes thru this like a champ! It just breaks my heart seeing him sick.
