Cleo gets an ultrasound

On Thursday, after her stay at the vets, Cleo seems fine. She eats normally. But by that night she's throwing up again and having diarrhea. Then she stops eating again.

I call the vet in the morning. They squeeze me in in the morning. Little do I know I'll be there for two hours. They check her electrolytes, her RBC and WBC. Everything looks rather normal, but something's clearly wrong, so they decide to do an ultrasound. They call my old vet so I can release the ultrasound they did on her almost a year ago.

Cleo has pancreatitis. They think she may be in the beginning stages of lymphona, too, but can't really tell. They prescribe Leukeran (Chlorambucil), which is essentially chemotherapy. We also consult with the internist again.
