Hi. New here. Just wanting some quick advice about my 17 year old girl, Elvis (yep, Elvis is a girl, lol).
Last Thursday she started vomiting and diarrhea and was acting weird and somewhat weak and lathargic. Took her to the vet Friday and they did all labs, urine and an abdominal X-ray. She was dehydrated so they gave her sub q fluids and a shot for nausea. All tests normal. Diagnosed with just a stomach virus.
Now here we are a week later and she won’t eat. She looks better, somewhat. Sometimes I can pet her and she’ll take a few bites but that’s it. I’ve tried everything. All her favorite foods. It’s like she’s afraid of it.
Called the vet. They gave her an appetite stimulant and pain meds. She’ll eat a few bites after the pain meds but that’s it. Vet said it could be pancreatitis. Actually this morning she’s barely purring but acts like she wants something from me.
Please give me any advice you can. Anyone experience this before? I’m frustrated and sad at the same time.
Could it be that she’s just dying?
