Khaleesi has been taken in for iv fluids, blood work, ultrasound and iv medication. She may have an xray if inconclusive - hopefully not as she would need an anaesthetic :( they are testing for pancreatitis amongst the usual blood works. I'm hoping it's not that as coupled with her IBD it could turn into triaditis :(

This waiting is driving me crazy!! It's 1:20 here and they said to ring back at 4:00. I don't want to feel like I'm harassing them but I need to know how my baby is :(

Hubby just rang and they are doing their ward round - they said results of bloods should be available within the hour so I'll ring then :)

Ok so her blood work and back ok - dehydrated - but she is on iv meds and fluids so that should fix that. It's not pancreatitis which is a relief!! Most likely exacerbation of her IBD

Hope khaleesi is home & feeling better soon, so glad its not pancreatitis, hopefully the ivs will buck her up & shes back home in no time, love hugs & prayers sent xxxx
Thankyou :) she is apparently looking a little brighter since the iv fluids. I'm going to take her a pouch of her gastro food down tonight - hopefully she may take a nibble :) they said her tummy needed a rest all day so her meds are all iv - she hasn't vomitted since being at the vets which is good. Diarrhoea still continues.....

I hope she feels well soon and can go home. Poor baby. I hope the vet finds out what is going on for real this time. She has had enough I'm sure.

The vet said she hasn't vomited or had diarrhoea overnight- good news. They said she is being 'demanding' this morning though! Lol they were going to feed her but she isn't urinating even though she has a full bladder. They are giving her an ultrasound to see if she needs a catheter :( if so they can't feed her because she'll need an anaesthetic . Binx has also stopped eating :( he vomited 4 times now so I've booked him in for 11:45 :(

Oh @Emily0404 I am so sorry your babies are not feeling well. I am sure you are stressed out beyond measure. Positive thoughts keep going your way...now they are doubled.

Thankyou patti, I have no idea what is going on! I just pray none of the others get this as not only is this crippling me emotionally, financially it's a huge strain. I managed to get binx to eat a small amount - which he promptly threw back up! Poor boy, he really has had everything going!

So many have multiple babies on here it can be hard to remember. Did they do a fecal sample on khaleesi recently? If not bring some fresh from the box of Binx and inquire.

Khaleesi has 3 days faecal sample currently away being tested ( can take up to a week!) binx has formed poop so not sure they'd test that?

Khaleesi is staying another night. She still hasn't peeed - her ultrasound looked normal - they may anaesthetise her later and catheterise if she doesn't pee soon. At the same time they will take a biopsy of her bowel. This is for an official diagnosis of her IBD - then depending on those results they may decide on steroid treatment. Good news is that she has held down some breakfast for an hour so far :)
