Well, we spent the afternoon at the hospital with Mickey. He really had me worried at first. When they brought him into the little room we were in, he was shaking and making this funny little crying sound that I've never heard from him. He did seem happy to see us though. I wrapped him in a towel and held him and after a while, he calmed right down and had a nice nap on my lap.

I asked to see where he was being kept and they took me right back into the hospital to his little "room". I told them that he had to be kept warm, and they added more blankets for him and the nurse even wrapped him up. He seemed so much better when we left. They are taking very good care of him.

He is on an IV and they are still waiting on test results. I think they got him to eat a small amount of bland food, but I didn't have any luck trying to feed him. He did have a small bout of diarrhea before we arrived.

We'll call this evening if we don't hear from them...Right now, though, it's a waiting game. They said because of the holiday weekend, there might be a delay on test results, but hope to know more by tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest.

Thanks again for all of the well wishes and advice. Lady Jane thanks for the link. I tried to do a search on it but didn't find the very helpful link you shared. Thanks!

Oh and as for doing blood work originally, our vet's office did not do it. I'm still a little puzzled as to why, but the dr. told me that she felt if Mickey had pancreatitis that his stomach would be very sore and painful to touch. I immediately thought of pancreatitis, but they ruled that out for sure at the emergency vet hospital.
