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 course, has lost more than half of his body weight in the past few weeks. From what I've been reading about this he should be in hospital on an I.V. but for some reason I was not offered that option. I finally gave him a bit of wet food and he is now sleeping comfortably with no show of pain. Yet.
Is there someone out there with some experience with this infection. I really need some help here and any I can get will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
