Thanks everyone for the responses.

Some good news is she is drinking and eating more. She managed to pass two stools after about 40 hours of constipation. Neither had blood, wasn't diarrhea but still had some mucus on it. Hopefully this means she's on the mend!

Blood work was done but they did not test specifically for pancreatitis. She has elevated phosphorous and creatine/bun levels. We're tweaking her diet to be more kidney friendly and giving a more bland home-made chicken rice/veggies. Before she was eating a home-made wet food diet as well.

We're planning on learning how to do sub-q fluids at home just in case we may need to in the future. She's not the best at the vet lol.

We still don't know exactly what it was/is but hopefully some diet changes and TLC will do the trick.
