As I understand it the test costs approx $100, the cat must fast for 12 hrs
before the test and
Did Hobbs have his teeth pulled?? If the dental didn't work with
some cats the only relief is having all *but* their canines and the tiny
teeth in between them pulled. This is what we ended up doing with
Bailey, he was fine after that and got to be a little pudgy even until
the anemia and
Bailey had bad stomastisis and also ended up with pancreatitis,
his symptoms started with lethargy and not eating very much, he didn't
cry out but was very uncomfortable when I fed him (he had a feeding tube

Heather,
I have pulled 2 back that were very sick. I later lost one though when she
got so bad I felt her quality of life was so poor that I should let her go.

yet. What you are describing sounds a lot like an acute pancreatitis attack.
Pancreatitis can only be dx by a special blood test fPLI done at TAMU or maybe
