I'm hoping that eating this wysong for a couple weeks will help improve his pancreatits and in turn will get him to have less pain and be able to eat the dry food
I was on another thread discussion today about pancreatitis and the subject of catnip came up. Several of us have noticed that catnip seems to help kitties with pancreatitis. It has analgesic properties. It certainly helped Saoirse to lick her catnip toy when she had a bit of discomfort after eating. (She did need bupe during flares.)

Well, vet refuses to allow sub q fluids...I really don't want to rock the boat with her, but jeez. He's definitely has bad stomach right now. She's going to look into ondansetron for him. Gave him some gabapentin and he's been sleepy all day.
 
If you need a reference to cite for the appropriateness of ondansetron for nausea control from a highly reputable source, here's a helpful document:

IDEXX Feline Pancreatitis Treatment Guidelines

Covers all anti-nausea and appy stimulant treatments.

She wasn't opposed to it, she offered cerenia again but I said it didn't really work last time and was expensive. I also said that by the digging around I did, generic ondansetron seemed to be less expensive. She was going to get back to me on cost and dosage today but never did. He wouldn't touch the wysong rabbit today, but ate the fancy feast so at least he's eating something!
 
Ondansetron is mainly for nausea while Cerenia for vomiting. Both can be given together. Also, Cerenia is dose once daily while ondansetron twice daily
Thanks! He never vomits (Or VERY rarely), so maybe that's why the cerenia had not effect on him. Hopefully we can give the Ondansetron a whirl. He has been eating pretty good, just not what I want him to eat. What I really need to find is something to make his rabbit food smell like fish :)
