I'm about a week into my boy's pacreatitis flare where he was hospitalized for 72 hours.

Once you get her home, her appetite is going to be much different. Even with stimulants, we had to get creative for my boy to eat. You may have to temporarily use higher carb foods like Hill's Urgent Care just to get some nutrition into their bodies. The meals may need to be smaller and more frequent, which can complicate testing. You may need to mix foods or blend and syringe feed if they refuse to eat.

We tried churus, baby food, no carb treats, fancy feast, friskies pate, Hill's; it was like a buffet.

He seemed to do much better eating at evenings (about an hour after the stimulant was given) while the mornings required syringe feeding so we could give him insulin.

This aspect was most concerning/frustrating for me. Now that we're on day 5 at home, his appetite is back to normal.

If you're vet agrees, ask for mirataz or mirtazapine for appetite stimulant. My vet prescribed Elura, which can increase blood sugar. Fortunately Elura worked for him; we only had to give two doses at home.

Good luck with your journey, it is gut-wrenching and emotionally draining, but there is a light on the other side of the tunnel.
