She suggested I try giving her Pepsid10 mg and cut them in half and give it to her twice a day. She weighs 7 lbs. I did but it took a while for her to start eating again. I wish I could give her some of my Creon (that's what I have to take for it myself). Can your vet get kitty Creon?

Nope, they have been very low carb for years. All meat and a little pumpkin now and again. bettyellen Jan 2018 #6
