Yeah glad that he is doing so well. All 3 of mine eat the canned W/D .

Thanks Linda, Great news, I'm thrilled for you and Gizmo! This little guy's been through so much lately, I'm sure it does your heart good just to watch him eat! Praying that he does pick up weight and is now on his way to a full recovery.

So happy to hear good news for Gizmo. He has gone through so much, it's nice to know he's enjoying the new food and doing better.

Had to check up on Gizmo and am so happy to read how well that little boy is doing. Big smiles here!

I started reading this thread just now because my little Kiri was diagnosed with pancreatitis about a year ago, and when I first saw that red mucosy diarrhea, I was terrified. She is on Hills i/d and doing fine. But when she does sneak something, I can tell by the "gas attack". Then there's a little bout. Fortunately, this doesn't happen too often, and she seems fine. Just annoyed that she can't have all the treats and people food in the world. My little bug

Glad Gizmo is feeling better! I hope you've been rejoicing and celebrating.

Thank you for posting! So happy to hear that your Kiri is doing well!

Yes, we are very happy here that Gizmo is doing well.

I'm a little late to the conversation but I'm so happy gizmo is better! My baby Khloe was diagnosed with pancreatitis a week ago and is still struggling. Any suggestions? They said it was mild and not bacterial so she's not on antibiotics but they sent her home with anti nausea meds and pain meds. She's on a low fat bland diet. She's doing a little better but she shakes and trembles for about 20-30 minutes after she eats. Is she in pain? She doesn't drink much either. I'm really worried. I know it takes time, but how long? We had all tests done and an ultrasound and were at the Er vet twice. I can't afford much more but it's breaking my heart to see her sick. She was never on a high fat diet to begin with because she has a liver disease. Could it have turned bacterial and now she needs antibiotics? The vet just keeps saying if she gets worse bring her back but she's not necessarily worse. Just not improving as fast as I thought she would. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. They also did an X-ray of her neck and said she could have disk disease. Anyone familiar with that? Thank you!

I am sorry your baby Khloe is sick. I don't have any experience in this area, but I want to make sure other people see your post. Start a new thread in this forum. You can copy and paste your post into the new thread so that you don't have to type it all out again.

Also indicate how old she is, and what kind of liver disease she has.

Best wishes.

I am so sorry to hear that your Khloe is so sick. You might want to start a new thread so that you will get more feedback.
I am a bit concerned about the neck issue....how old is she? Did they say what the issue was? Shaking often indicated pain.
I know you say money is tight, but I honestly think you should consider an internal med specialist so you can get to the bottom of the problem here. Often it is cheaper to do that rather than to keep going back to the vet and also to the EC.

Please keep us posted...would like to see a new thread though so more will notice it. I think I will ask the mod to maybe move this to a new one...

Thank you. I did start a new thread for this. Khloe is only 5 years old. They said there was some narrowing between a couple disks in her neck and it could be the beginning of ivdd. They didn't seem to think it was a big concern right now but it could develop into one later. The best way to really see is a ct scan.
