I was just looking at the itemized bill from the ER vet where Anna was hospitalized, and they did the Pancreatitis/cPl test. They gave her Cerenia, Buprinex, Famotidine. Also Neo-Poly W/Dex drops because her eyes became runny and crusty beneath. I know what all of these are except Buprinex
There is also a mention of--testing for I guess--Amylase and Lipase, which I know are blood values that go up with pancreatitis.
Other things listed include E. Collar 12 IN. (Electric collar?)
Fluorescein Stain
PlasmaLyte
Cyproheptadine 4 mg. tablest
Her hospitalization level was 2/12
No ultrasound.
I'm thinking now I stopped the Pepcid too soon. I didn't give it to her today.
