    Slinky acute pancreatitis

    So, right after I typed the above message Slinky had a setback. About 11am she vomited what I believe is stomach bile. It was a yellowish color with nothing in it, just frothy. She hadn't eaten anything in the house (pica) so I know it wasn't anything like that. Off and on she regurgitated...

    Slinky acute pancreatitis

    Thanks for all the help. The Gaba isn't working well for her. It takes the edge off 30min after we give it to her in the evening but then her nervous habits are back all day! Poor baby girl was shaking Friday when we had a rain storm and Saturday when we had a major wind storm. I had to sit in...

    Slinky acute pancreatitis

    Pathology came back and everything is OK! So, I asked about Gabapentin for anxiety. He said that it is a very cost effective method to reducing her anxiety. We don't need to watch what she eats or anything. He feels it might be an isolated event. Hopefully! The only thing that I find a little...

    Slinky acute pancreatitis

    The ER vet stated they wanted to do an ultrasound before doing surgery. My regular vet reviewed the ER vets radio-graphs and decided to forego the untra-sound and opted for exploratory surgery instead. That's when they found the issue with the pancreas. As far as an internist this vet has one on...

    Slinky acute pancreatitis

    No yet. 5-7 days. We've been syringe feeding her and she did go over and eat a little on her own. Not much but she did venture to eat herself. That's something. The thing is shes only 4.5 years old so that's where my dilemma is at. She's still young

    Slinky acute pancreatitis

    So, I'm at the crossroads on thinking quality of life at this point. Friday we put the tree up. Saturday Slinky starts vomiting everywhere multiple times. Eventually it turns to blood mixed with bile. We think OH NO she ate something from the tree. So my husband takes her to emergency vet, in...

    Ghost has seizures

    The one neurologist is at University of Wisconsin Madison and they specifically have a section where they will work together with your local vet for the benefit of the cat so it's less stressful. But they do want a full day of work up. The problem is I don't have a car so my husband would be the...

    Ghost has seizures

    So, I thought I'd update everyone on what is going on. In August we tried to do every 12 hours to which Ghost responded by having seizures almost every week. So we upped his meds to every 8 hours. Everything was going well and I was finally thinking we had stabilized him but he had another one...

    Ghost has seizures

    He was seen by a male Dr on the 18? (can't remember the exact date) He's the one that prescribed it and said we can go to every 12 hours. This last week after I received the transdermal and he had a seizure I got the female vet. When she looked at the script that was put into his file she was...

    Ghost has seizures

    When I looked at the actual prescription he was only being given 26mg/1ml. Original dose was 100mg/1ml 3x a day. Even at the 100mg/1ml every 12 hours he was being maintained. He was supposed to be given 26mg/1ml trandermal 2x a day. Which is wayyyyy below what he was taking. So the every 12...

    Ghost has seizures

    Spoke with the female vet this morning already and she thinks the compound for the transdermal wasn't strong enough. The male vet he saw earlier in the same office never called the original vet for the records even though I signed a request and gave them authorization. So he just assumed he was...

    Ghost has seizures

    I was wondering about that and whether he would be getting the correct dose. The vet has yet to call me. They said it was going to be a very busy day today since they're down a vet today. My husband and I already came to the conclusion that since he's doing well on this drug we will be giving...

    Ghost has seizures

    Welp...bad news. We tried the transdermal meds for the very first time last night and it was super easy. He loved getting petted and ears massaged. But here's the bad...he had another seizure at 3:30am. It wasn't a little one either. It was a full blown grand mal, frothing at the mouth, and wet...

    Ghost has seizures

    It's Shamrock in Elburn here. That's who they use specifically. The meds I have now is 1ml generic Keppra liquid every 8 hours. This stuff is stinky. My stinky tuna didn't even mask the taste. The vet that he saw originally won't compound. They actually told me they don't do that. So I took him...
