When Sebastian was having his flare, the vet was giving him fluids, Pepcid (antacid), Cerenia (antiemetic), Metronidozole (antibiotic), and they put a Fentanyl pain patch on him (which lasts for three days). Sebastian didn't get started on the prednisolone until later, but some vets use it right away. If your cat does, in fact, have pancreatitis, pain management is important. It's very painful. IF he is not vomiting, ask your vet about some of these things you can give him at home that aren't as expensive. At some point, he may need an appetite stimulant such as Mirtazapine or Cyproheptadine. Fatty liver disease is a secondary concern if he isn't eating, but it seems as though you've already started syringe-feeding him.Yes, a meezer is a pet name for Siamese cats.. He is a blue point. I just feel so helpless in that all I can do is give him fluids and wait and see if he gets better. I did end up force feeding him 5 cc's of science diet a/d. He appeared to keep it down but the crazy drool started again like he is feeling nauseous. I don't see how he can be so nauseous with the anti nausea medicine they have been giving him. He is walking around a bit better but still just wants to bury his head in my arm and sit in my lap.
I will give him some more of the liquid pain medicine when it gets closer to bedtime. Then more fluids tomorrow. Sigh. This is so hard.
P.S. If your vet gave him an anti-nausea injection (was it Cerenia?), it will probably only last for 24 hours.
