So, my cat about 11 years old, I want out of town for Christmas this past holiday, and literally came home to an entirely different cat. She was completely aggressive, hissing at everybody, peeing and popping even at mere attempt of just getting close to her, sometimes as bad as just the mere looking in her direction. She always been a left alone cat but would at least hang out and be on the coach with me and sleep with the other cat. She just a total spaz now and happened what seems like overnight for me. I sort of deducted this isn't normal and off to the vet we want. Appears she has high reading in pancreatitis levels, vet says 50 when normally 0 to 5. So got her on new cat food, and did a few rounds of medicine the vet provided,
Because she been peeing pooping so much, I finally had to house her off in the spare bathroom we have, and setup a cat box and food there, and she been relatively content sense. But she literally living there for 3 weeks now and has no intent getting out, even if i leave the gate open. I even have webcam watching her, and she literally makes no attempt, not even to peek out the door.
After the new food and medicine still not really seeing any improvement in the aggressiveness. She will sometime be chill enough when I go to the bathroom, talk and meow, and allow petting, but then other times the sightless movement will make her go 0 to 10 spaz. Not sure the Pancreatitis medicine doing that much or new food. Has anybody else experience this before with a cat who has Pancreatitis?
Is this sort of the new normal? Is there anything better i can do. The vet i have sort of seem to gate keep you through a bunch of dummy tech who don't know anything, and the only answer seems to be will write you up more medicine. and the only way to get a real Dr thought is to schedule a vet visit, which only stresses the cat out more. Plus the process of getting her into a cat carrier. Which was hard enough before, but now that she on a spaz level, it an entirely new level of hard, and includes being clawed up like no other. So really want to keep the vet visits minimal as possible.

The issue wasn't Pancreatitis after all, further testing, they discovered she had a mass, and it was cancerous. It definitely was a rough week or two. Thanks for all the help though!!!
