885.0. "Pancreatits????" by DEMON::DEMON::AIKEY () Tue May 16 1995 10:51

    
    I am writing for a non-digital person but a cat owner/lover....
    
    She has told me that her kittie (Fluffie) has been diagnoised (0ps!) with
    Pancreatitis.  Mod if there is a better place for this please forgive
    and move...  
    
    Fluff is 17 years old..  My friend does understand that she should do
    what is best for fluffie..   What she is wondering is, would/is it
    worth while to put Fluff through a lot of testing???
    
    I told her I would put a note in the feline notesfile and see what kind
    of responses come back..  She has brought Fluff to the vets for this.. 
    I do think that she is just getting off of the medicine when she
    started acting sick again.......
    
    She would welcome any and all advice.........

    I think she should have a talk with her vet about the situation
    and her options.  My vet is very good about discussing this
    kind of thing.  Also, the Cornell Vet School has a hot line
    at 1-800-548-8937;  I think they charge about $25 for a phone
    consultation with a specialist, although when I called them the vet
    tech who answered the phone was able to answer all my questions, and
    there was no charge.
