My Sweet Kate started vomiting Fri Oct 27 and it didnt stop...I took her to the ER clinic Sat...they did a complete blood workup...which was pretty good...she was dehydrated....they wanted to keep her to give IV fluids....but I wanted her home so they gave her fluids under the skin and I took home anti nausea meds and the like...poor lil girl was up and down all nite getting sick and diarreah started also....I took her back to the ER clinic Sun Morn....still dehydrated...they did xrays and her intestines were thickened...per what was not known....they kept her overnite and gave the IV fluids and other meds...their goal was to get her to eat but it didnt happen...picked her up Mon morn and took her to our reg vet....they put her back on IV fluids and other meds including a pain med....they tried to get her to eat...it didnt happen...I took her home Mon nite to try to get her to eat...I tried...my sis tried....no go...she did eat about 4 yogurt drop treats before bed but no water....she slept real good...got up...I tried to feed her anything...she wouldnt eat...I took her to the U of M vet clinic Tues morn...still dehydrated after 2 days of fluids...at the critical point of getting food in her now...at the U they gave IV fluids and nourishment thru a tube in her nose down to her tummy....did bloodwork...still pretty good...did xrays...very concerned about the intestine area...had to leave her there overnite Tues...went there Wed morn at about 10:00 to see her...they did a Ultrasound at 10:30....was then given a tragic diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer....I could have had exploratory surgery done but at her age of almost 13 1/2 and her frailness...I had to make the most difficult decision to end her pain and suffering...I took her to my moms for the afternoon...she actually had a few bites of corndog breading with me...at 5:30 we went to our vet and helped her over the bridge...in just 5 short days from start to finish....she was gone...I am so grateful we had Mon nite and Wed afternoon...I am so devastated...what I wouldnt give for just a lil more time with her...feeling very cheated as I should have been able to care for her thru her old age....but it was not to be...from the moment she got sick she was in Gods hands...:(
