I don't know what is in the air, but this is GI week at work. Not only does every patient of mine have some kind of gastrointestinal disorder they are almost all cats. I have got bites and scratches all over my arms. I must have taken at least 75 radiographs in the last week.
We have an interesting case that may be pacreatitis or he could be diabetic or who really knows. The problem is the test results say that if we feed him we could make him a lot worse fast, and its a cat so it can only a couple days with out food before it gets fatty liver disease.
We have three other cases of vomiting due to mysterious causes. The blood work shows nothing, the radiographs show nothing(even with a barium series), and antibiotics really do not seem to be helping.
We have a cat that may be obstructed by hairballs and a dog that may be obstructed by acorns (that is really a new one).
I have the next three days off so I can't wait to get back and see what has happened.
