Back again, 2 years later...cat has Pancreatitis again!
My poor little Meatball started puking Friday night. The vet couldnt get me in until this past Monday, and just as I had predicted - a flareup of his chronic pancreatitis 
The vet kept him over night and gave him IV fluids. He stopped eating Friday so the vet gave me two cans of prescription wet food, a syringe and nutrical. Oh, not to mention 1/2 methocol tab per day and amox twice daily :fust
Anyway, this time isnt quite like the last flare up he had, Im having a hard time getting him to drink or eat anything. I do get about 2 tsp's of nutri-cal in his mouth a day with the syringe and I was able to get some of the liquid food into the syringe and get two or so full syringe-fuls of food down.
Any other suggestions to coax him to eat/drink? I dont want his liver getting fatty like it dad the last time he had pancreatitis... almost lost him!
