I'm just back home from the vets. I picked Gari up this morning as there was no ambulance available, and took him to my own vets, he had a comfortable night, but was still in a lot of pain when the pain relief was wearing off. He wasn't bright on the journey, he was lying down crying every time the car moved.

They are waiting for the blood results from the lab and they should be in before lunchtime. The vet wants to open him up, even if the blood result does show pancreatitis, as she said the inflammation could be caused by a tumour. I am hoping she will hold off for a day or two to see if the painkillers work before putting him through surgery that may not be necessary. If the blood results don't show anything, she is going to open him up this afternoon, and if there is a tumour he will have to be pts on the table.

Any of you who have gone through this will know how I am feeling, and anyone who hasn't, will be able to imagine it. My heart is breaking.

ETA: Babushka, just saw your post - it gives me a little bit of hope.
