My Himalayan cat Oliver had been diagnosed with pancreatitis about 3 weeks ago. It seemed to clear up after a week of meds and fluids but it's now back. I'm doing all the research but I still have some questions. He has been put on Cerenia (1/2 tab every 24hrs) and gabapentin (.75ml every 12 hrs) for pain however he still howls in pain and grinds his teeth. Why is the gabapentin not working? He's been eating a tiny bit and drinking a little. Tuesday I have him scheduled for xrays. Are the xrays neccessary for a possible obstruction even though vet didn't mention diabetes or any gall bladder issues? I know our kitties are our children and priceless... but in reality we've been to the vet 3 times (3 days in a row) and I've spent over $700. I feel horrible even asking if I should bring him in for the xrays. Or would skipping the xrays and scheduling an ultrasound be more beneficial? Of course I will do what's best for him.
