She took a couple of days to decompress, then, suddenly, started experiencing digestive issues. Diarrhea, vomiting, lethargy.... this girl was SICK. We immediately took her to our amazing veterinarian where she did labs, and a comprehensive exam. Bri was experiencing severe pancreatitis. 3 days of hospitalization and treatment, she stabilized. Bri is on low fat (Rx) food. SHE MUST NEVER GET TABLE SCRAPS!
Bri has made a full recovery! and is ready to be your lap baby.
