Hi everyone, I just heard from the vet and Veruca is resting comfortably in a crate with IV fluids and Cerenia. Her x-rays showed air in her stomach and intestines, no foreign objects, and no inflamed organs. Her fecal from yesterday was negative. Her blood tests for pancreatitis were negative (though the vet suggested this could be a false negative). The vet thinks she has a gastroenteritis/mild case of pancreatitis and wants her to stay overnight for monitoring. Basically if she stops vomiting and diarrhea she can come home some time tomorrow. They're going to try and give her a little bland GI diet tonight and see if she can hold down food and also if she will take water. This was the weekend vet, and another doctor will pick up her case at 6am tomorrow and should be calling me in the morning with an update.

So even though Veruca's blood tests were negative, what things can I do to prevent pancreatitis or stomach trouble in the future? Thanks for your kind thoughts and prayers!
