Me too checking in that is! When you can, update us on Kimbo

Hoping and praying for Kimbo and family...

Hope Kimbo makes it through! He sounds like a passionate little fighter and I'm so happy you've found CareCredit.

Sending all my love and prayers for the little guy!!

Dear Lord I just read this!

Praying all turns out well, so very happy about the care credit

:hands:

Hope we get an update soon!

I'm so sorry that your own vet didn't tell you about CareCredit as most of them tell their patient's people about it as soon as they sense medical care might have to be withheld due to lack of funds and so there isn't a big delay before people can find out about it on their own. In fact, I've over-heard vets & vets offices urging people to use it.

Update:

Our specialist also suspected a faulty liver, but could not see if there was a shunt ussue because Kimbo's swollen angry pancreas was impossible to see around on the ultrasound. She said that it looks very fibrous like it is scarred. He's never been diagnosed with pancreatitis so we were very surprised to hear that he has probably had chronic pancreatitis off and on. I was floored. Kimbo has always had a sensitive tummy and has vomited a few times, but we rush to our vet for everything. His lab work always looks good. From what I've been reading, sometimes the lab work just doesn't jive.

Although the specialist cannot rule out a liver shunt, she decided to treat him aggressivly for pancreatitis. We seriously thought he might die on the way to the hospital in Houston. 24 hrs. later he is alert, and running around the ICU looking for food! They're restricting food right now to rest his pancreas, but I was so flipping happy to hear that he was walking and hungry. Drove there todau and got to visit him. He was wearing a cone because he was chewing on a port they have on his little arm for fluids and meds. His timmy sounds still weren't good, but they're hoping to get some movement soon with the meds. OMG he was so happy to see us today! DH and I got millions of the sweetest kisses ever. I really needed it because I've been a weeping fool for days. His Dr. will call us tonight with another update. Thank you all for your encouragement during this difficult time. More later...

Sorry about all the typos. Typing on my phone on a bumpy road that DH is driving on.

so so so happy for you....and Kimbo....he was just thanking you with them kisses!!! This made me tear up big time...I'm so very happy for you and your family....

Keeping prayers going for Kimbo that he makes a full recovery.

That is awesome!!! So glad things are moving forward and the horizon looks promising with this new specialist!

Stay blessed little Kimbo!!

Oh Thank goodness! Yay for puppy kisses! Hoping and praying for a full recovery!
