Well about a week and a half before his tail started dropping. He would wake around with a droopy tail which never happens unless he’s extremely sick. So I had a feeling something was coming. Then he woke up vomiting one Friday morning, took cernia (vets order) and was back to normal, never lost his appetite. Then exactly one week later on a Friday he woke up vomiting again, once every two hours. He couldn’t hold down any food what so ever but he still had the appetite for it. We took him in to the vet because he couldn’t hold down the cernia either and his medication was going to be due and there was no way I could skip it. They did some blood work, and a little snap test. Snap test said positive for pancreatitis and his ALT, cholesterol, triglycerides, PSL were all high. I mean the Psl was 6216 and apparently that’s the one thing that really stands out with pancreatitis. Well we took him home with pain meds, fluids and he got cernia. He would do the downward yoga position I believe is what the vet called it over and over cause he was in so much pain. He couldn’t get comfortable. He couldn’t sleep he would pace. He was fine with the eating though till that afternoon he stopped. He wouldnt even take boiled chicken which is his absolute favorite thing in the world! You know he’s really sick when he turns that down. They had said if stopped eating (especially since he needed to take meds) to take him in to the emergency vet and from there he ended up staying there over night. He came home feeling much better but still really sad it took about 9 days for him to go back to normal. And no my parents don’t mind, they keep telling us to go but I just hate not being here if anything were to happen. â˜č
