Why not give him a drop dose?

What does the vet think this could be? He had a similar bout a few weeks back.

I didn't want him dropping too low and with no interest in food. I'll try to give him some insulin tonight.

We think it's something he ate. He tends to chew random objects when he's hungry, like plastic bags, etc. He broke a hose a couple of weeks ago, there were missing pieces. We are trying to keep those out of reach from him, but I left him alone the other night for a couple of hours thinking he wouldn't misbehave and then he started with this bout.
It may also be parasites, though I don't think so, but I'll send a stool sample when I can to check on that. He's due for a deworming, anyways.
Everything seems okay during physical examination and ultrasound, only that his stomach is kind of irritated
 
I took him to the vet earlier today. He was nauseous, salivating a lot and seemed to be in pain. They did a physical check, no abdominal pain, and everything looks okay on the ultrasound, only that he has some gases and slight gastritis. I left a stool sample there, will get results tomorrow.
He's super high this PM, and he hasn't eaten anything since noon. Should I give 0.1 U or a drop dose? What should I do about food? I gave Ondansetron like 30 mins ago. @Bandit's Mom @Wendy&Neko @tiffmaxee

Sorry, this was too early in the morning for me! I keep wondering if its pancreatitis, but I don't have any experience with it. @Bron and Sheba (GA) and @tiffmaxee do - quite a bit.
 
It could be pancreatitis. Did the vet test for it? If ondansetron is helping give it every 6-8 hours. Don’t stop it until he’s eating completely normally and then taper by cutting on one dose fur a day or two and make sure he’s still eating. While pancreatitis is said to be quite painful, cats hide that. Max did not seem in pain when examined when it was active. He always became inappetent. Why dues Nao need regular deworming? Does he go outside and get fleas? He’s pretty high. If still high in the morning I’d give more than a drop dose but if eating at least half of normal do the normal dose.

Something has bumped up his BGs.
My experience with pancreatitis is Sheba did not want to eat, BG went up, and she became quiet.
Did the vet do a fPL snap or fPL spec blood test? Pain meds, subQ fluids and anti nausea meds made a big difference.
With the salivating, did the vet look in his mouth?
I would certainly keep in mind he could have swallowed something.

They haven't tested for it. He does not go outside but he tends to eat insects. And deworming is just a common practice with vets here in Venezuela

Yes, they looked and nothing out of the ordinary, only a lot of gases. The vet gave me some drops to help with that
