I really need some input. My 8 year old domestic short haired cat has developed pancreatitis, with hard stool becoming obstipated. He quit eating and drinking 10 days ago, 3 trips to the vet to get if fluids, steroids, anti nausea meds, vomiting was severe. I got him to eat some canned food, he really loves dry. 2 days ago at last trip to vets and severely dehydrated again, he was found to have a blood glucose of 395, so now I am dealing with a diabetic cat????? He is not vomiting now but can't get him to drink water, I have tried everything, he did lick a little broth today. Not only are my funds limited I work so many hours, hard to stay with him. I have him locked in my bedroom with me away from other cats. My vet says she hates to give up on this cat yet. I watch him suffer and he looks at me to fix this. I guess I understand if his pancreas is not working anymore, he will be diabetic, 2 shots a day!!! And not sure this would fix the problem. I can't see why diabetes would make him not drink??? Plus his stool becomes like rock inside him, maybe from not drinking. Does anyone have any advice, knowledge, or anything they can tell me that would help. At this point I can't let my most fun active cate suffer much longer, unless there is a miracle. It's hard to see the life leave his eyes like this.
Hoping someone reads this and has advice for me and my little Monkey Boy.
