    Pancreatic Abcess

    Hi! Sorry for the delay - I was in New York for a family gathering. Timmy seems to be doing very well! He has four more pills to take. In the meantime, he's eating and drinking well and I've been able to cut way back on the boiled chinken as he's been eating the low fat diet. He may even be...

    Pancreatic Abcess

    I'd like to ask you a question about food. Before all this came about I was feeding them Nutra Natural Choice for Seniiors. They loved it and I was very pleased with the product! I have bought them Performitrim Weight Managment with a fat measurement of 9% min. They hate it and although none...

    Pancreatic Abcess

    This is the first chance I've had to get back to you. Tim did come home after all ! Here's the update - the vet didn't do the blood tests, he looked at Tim's gums and the roof of his mouth and determined that there was no jaundice, therefore no liver involvment (the first tests done a couple...

    Pancreatic Abcess

    I was not offered options, just given a two weeks supply of antibiotics and some rather general instructions re feeding. I called several times to clarify things and have found that people can talk a lot and say nothing. I called the other vets in town who wold not help as he is under the care...

    Pancreatic Abcess

    This is the first chance I've had to read your post due to the power black-out. Tim is going to the vet this morning and I think that I will have to let him go. I could write a book about my experiences with the last couple of weeks, this vet, etc. I have to say that being on disability I...

    Timmy has one antibiotic pill left to take - tomorrow. He was doing fairly wel and today seemed like a really good day. Until 8:20 p.m. when he let out three loud yowls, staggered a couple of steps and fell over. He only moved a tiny bit during the next hour. I havd changed his food to a low...

    Pancreatic Abcess

    Thank you all so much for your replies! Tim had a much better day today. I'm letting him tell me now what he wants. He "demanded breakfast this morning so he got breakfast! He also got supper last night. Spent a restless night as though he couldn't get comfortable but didn't have the "pain...

    Pancreatic Abcess

    My nine year old, Tim, was diagonsed with a pancreatic abcess on Friday and started on antibiotics. I was told to give him no food or water as doing so would cause him great pain. Even smelling it would cause pain. I've followed the vet's instructions but Tim is hungry and weak and, of...
