I haven't posted on here in awhile, but I wanted to post about this...
Our cats are kittens in my signature, but they are turning 2 in August. Monday, we took Lily to the vet (our wonderful, wonderful, WONDERFUL cats only vet) because she hasn't had much appetite and was losing weight. She was also lethargic. Turns out, she has pancreatitis. She is now at the vet, on an IV, being syringe fed (she won't eat on her own), and getting medication. I am heartsick because apparently my baby girl was in a lot of pain for a long time but we never knew! She just started getting really lethargic in the last couple weeks. She is a really tough girl.
I was happy tonight because the vet tech called to update me and he opened with, "Your girl has some attitude!" Apparently she hissed and growled when he fed her in the evening, although earlier she was too lethargic to put up any fight at all. That made me SO relieved to hear (he was happy too!) because she has always been such a little spitfire.
Anyway, does anyone have any experience with pancreatitis?
Also, Lily tested positive for coronavirus, which means she COULD have FIP. Does anyone have experience with FIP, and especially with FIP causing pancreatitis? I understand that FIP is fatal, so I am really worried over this.
She is such a young kitty...we just didn't see this coming.
Thanks in advance...
