Our Finn went from happy and frisky to literally a day later not keeping anything down. We have a wonderful home vet who came and checked him out, said it seemed like a pancreatitis flare up brought on by something he ate (tainted food? We’re not sure). We gave him Gabapentin for the vet as they’d requested that to make it easier to give him everything. Anyway they gave him fluids and Pepcid and the works, said to try to give him some bland homemade food last night which I tried but he wasn’t interested.
Anyway he’s still super wobbly this morning, can’t really get around, well after gabap wore off, but we’re assuming it’s due to not eating for two days (I’d be wobbly too!) So we gave him the anti nausea/anti emetic med this morning as prescribed and are buying (bland stage 1) baby food.
Qs:
Anything else we should do to get him less wobbly or just gradually reintroducing food as we can should eventually perk him up?
how long has it typically taken your cat in very similar situation to start feeling better?
he’s 8 and was as I said very strong happy and perky just 2.5 days ago. Now he’s acting like my 19 year old cat did when he could barely function. (Cry)
