Ambercat had yet another episode last week and again had to go to the vet for care. This time, the vet was the owner of the place, and he quickly diagnosed Ambercat has having pancreatitis, and a blood test confirmed it. The two vets that treated him the last three times, a mother/daughter team, have been fired. He wouldn't tell me if it was related. So now he's going on a prescription diet.

Changed her over to a hypoallergenic food, and stopped giving her a very small saucer of cream every other day (she never problems digesting it..it never caused diarrhea, but the thinking is that having to process the extra fat was over working her pancreas). Her only other health issue was a worsening hairball problem, but using a Furminator de-shedding tool on her every morning has mostly put a stop to that.

He was freaking out in the enclosure today. I watched and this vole was running down the hill in the background, and went strait through the fence right up to him. I guess it got tired of being cold and hungry.

No pancreas troubles since she recovered 3 or 4 years ago. Had a blood test last year that showed all her levels were where they should be.
