Corkscrew is sick again. (new update post 127)

[Uabassoon]

Corkscrew seems to be doing better today, he hasn't vomited all day and he is happily enjoying his baby food diet. I spoke with the vet today and she said that all of the virus tests came back negative, however his pancreas levels are a little high. So it's possible that he has a minor case of pancreatitis however it is also possible that he has a parasite. All of the results still aren't in, I think we are waiting on a toxoplasmosis test result to come in. I'm also going to be bringing in a stool sample tomorrow. However the vet said it is a very good sign that he is eating and hasn't vomited but we still want to wait on the test results just to make sure nothing else is wrong with him.

I am sorry, I don't remember, how old is Corkscrew?

Ruffles is 16 and had a tough time in June. We never did find the source of the problem. As long as she is eating canned food and no kibble (and on 3 medications) she is doing great. So if the hamburg and rice with yogurt was a "no go," but the baby food is working, the food consistency may be part of the issue. Just something to keep in mind.

Best wishes, for Corkscrew!

He's only 6 years old. I know that he will eat canned food if offered because I fed him that the day before the vet. The problem was that it upset his stomach and he threw it up. Hopefully after a few days of the baby food diet his tummy will have calmed down enough that we can try canned food again.

Glad to hear that it is no virus infection, but pancreatitis sounds not to well. Hope - that when this turns out to be true - it's only a mild one which can be treated with a diet.

Good that he's eating his baby food, and that he didn't throw it up.

Get well soon, Corkscrew!

Poor Corkscrew. I hope he gets feeling better soon!

Looks like we're going back to the vet tomorrow morning. He seemed to be doing better then all of a sudden this evening one of his eyes wasn't looking well. I don't know if it's realted to his illness or if this is something totally different, but now his eye is really swollen and watery and doesn't look good at all.
