Wow, Chance is really a smart boy, knowing about vet bills, I am impressed!!
I hope Chance gets to feeling better soon, its sort of like when you have an infant, when they get sick, they cannot tell you what hurts, or what is wrong, and you have to just watch and see how they are acting.

Oh I hope so much he's better soon. It's a pity to see them when they are just so different.
But maybe all that s*** in his colon is just the beans. Cats can't be good in digesting beans as it is non-fat vegetable.
Aly, I am so sorry to hear that Chance's problem was a complicated one. He certainly was an angel at the vet's to have withstood all he did.... and then to try to protect you from the evil cash register. I know we all will be anxious for your next report. Here's hoping that the antibiotics do the trick and this little one will be feeling better SOON! Take care - Bobbi
I'm getting really really really worried now :(
I find myself checking every 5 minutes to be sure he's still breathing :( He's just a lump on the floor and he won't pick his head up unless I poke him a whole bunch. He will move downstairs if I stay down there for awhile, but otherwise he's not doing anything.
I just gave him his medicine and he about spit it in my face. He really hates it.
Does anyone here have a cat that had pancreatitis before?
Aly, I don't know anybody that had a cat with pancreatitis, but amoore's dog had it, and is doing quite well now. I just don't know anything about pancreatitis.
I am sorry you are so worried, I do hope Chance gets to feeling better soon. Maybe you should call your vet, or maybe a different vet and ask lots of questions.
Oh come on now Chance, it's not nice to worry mommy or us like this. Be a good boy and take your medicine so you can get all better, you hear me.
Aly, prayers are on the way that it isn't anything serious with Chance and it could easily be fixed with medication.
I'm so happy! He just got up and went to the food bowl and ate and drank on his own! yay! YAY! YAAAAAAAAY!
Poor baby :(. But I'm happy to hear that he is eating now :) yay Chance!
Way to go, baby Chance! Hopefully he'll be able to keep his food down OK. Our dog, Rat, had pancreatitis twice and pulled through both times. She was real sick, tho when she had it. Felt terrible, was on IVs, etc. Maybe Chance's meds are beginning to kick in now and he's feeling a tad better? Sure hope that's the case. Keeping paws and fingers crossed for you and praying hard. :)
Great! Glad to hear Chance is eating and drinking.:)
Chance, I hope you are getting a lot better now. Eat and drink so you'll feel fine by Christmas, ok? That should make your mommy really happy.
I'm so confused about this. He has no other symptoms besides lethargy, fever, and lack of appetite. He's not vomiting or anything like that. He is SO lethargic though. Right now Skylar and the kittens are wrestling next to him and they keep bumping into him, but he won't even move when they do. He doesn't even pick his head up or anything. But when we were at the vet, he was walking around the room, purring, sitting in my lap to be pet and acting normal. I DONT GET IT.
I was so happy he got up to eat, but now he's back down and just not moving.
Aly, I'm so sorry to hear that Chance is sick.:( Hopefully the medicine will help him and I also hope it's nothing too serious.
When my RB Pepper was very sick my vet thought that he might have pancreatitus but his blood tests didn't really reveal anything except that he had an infection of some kind. I think it's pretty hard to diagnose.
Prayers and positive thoughts are on the way for a quick and full recovery for sweet Chance. Please take care and keep us updated.
Oh Aly, I'm sorry Chance is worrying you so. Little Chance, I hope you feel better real soon.
All I can add is that when I feel like cr** all I want to do is crawl into bed and sleep. Maybe that's how Chance is feeling. Just conserving energy while he gets better.
Several years ago I came home from work to find an open bottle of asprin in the bathroom. I've had Calvin rip open a can of Pounce treats so I bet he opened the medicine cabinet and upon playing w/the bottle, thought it sounded like his Pounce treats. We spent all night with him sleeping on my chest and me scared to death he'd stop breathing. We made it thru the night and he was fine the next day. Kitties are pretty resilient especially babies so I'm sure he'll be fine.
Please feel better soon little one.
Love,
Claudia, Calvin & Hobbes

Just checking in once more before I head to bed. When can you call your vet? Is he/she available on Sun if you felt you needed them for a consult? Oh, I hope so much that Chance will feel at least a little better tomorrow. They really do worry us when they feel so bad. It's terribly hard to watch our kitties be so out of it, with us not knowing exactly what's going on with them.
Hope you have a decent night. Will be praying for you and little Chancer.
