Hello, I am going to try hard to not make this post extremely long. My sugarbaby, Spaz about 6 years old, was admitted to the animal hospital Wednesday night because I had tested him for ketones and it came back showing moderate levels. They also confirmed that he has pancreatitis. Here we are on his 3rd day of him being in the hospital and they are extremely concerned about him Ketone and sugar levels are still high, potassium level is low, blood pressure low and have had very very little success raising it, they are concerned about his kidneys, and also the fact that he has fluid in his chest (they have been trying to be careful of giving fluids because this happened to him in December as well). The critical care doctor says there are some other things they can try, one being putting in a feeding tube through his nose, but that he really isn't 100% sure he would pull through because he is so sick, and if he does there is a chance that he will have more medical issues then when he went in (ie. kidney issues). Spaz was so bad that they called me and let me see him at 3 am this morning in case he didn't pull through. I know that it will be my decision of what to do and if/when it is time to let him go. I unfortunately been here before. I am just wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation as above. I know pancreatitis is something that can continue to happen as he had it severely in December too, but after 6 days I brought him home (not knowing how long I would have him for) and he bounced back remarkably. I was able to visit him every day then though and I could tell he wanted to fight. I can't see him because of COVID-19, and yesterday he didn't give me an indication. Again I know it will be my decision, but I would love to hear some stories of those that have gone through a similar situation. Thank you!!
