When TiTia and Tito had pancreatitis last year
(only 2-4 months old) my vet said the only thing we could do was to give
her Prozyme or similar digestive enzyme. I did and they both pulled
through but were quite sick for a while. They are
very healthy and highly energetic now. I wish your friend the
best with her baby.

Subject: a couple of OT questions to
throw out to you, please?
Hi everyone,
First, I can't
find Sophie. It has been 24 hours since I have seen her. She
ditched that catfinder device the first day so I can't "beep" her. She
had been losing her appetite for a few days and even acted like her food dish
scared her, or something, recoiling in horror. She is a good hider and I
have an old farmhouse so there are lots of nooks and crannies but I have
always been able to find her before. She must have found a really good
spot. Have any of you had a similar experience? Do you know how I
could get her to come out? I was thinking of taking my air compressor
down there and turning it on because that makes my cats scatter but it might
scare her even more and send her into deeper hiding. Any tricks that
have worked for you?
Also, my friend in Belgium has
a young male cat, Spock, who was very ill, ended up at the vet and had
abdominal exploratory surgery done which gave a diagnosis of
pancreatitis. She doesn't have a lot of trust in her vet and he is the
only one around and she asked me to ask you guys if anyone had experience with
pancreatitis in cats? She would mostly like to know what would be
recommended to feed her cat when he got home and also what kind of diet would
be good to keep pancreatitis from returning.
Thanks in advance for any ideas or input,
Anne and Jimi Too Cool, Simms and
Sophie among other furry friends in MI
