Best time to go emergency vet?

so every night Gavin has been home through this I have slept on the couch. he sleeps in the living room mostly anyway, and while sick has entirely. I want to be nearby if he needs anything (or is vomiting or having diarrhea). last night was uneventful, so I think tonite I will try my actual bed!

side note. Gavin has an IV at the hospital the second time around. his little arm is less than the circumference of a quarter! our babies are almost all fur...how easily I forget
 
Cindy, this sounds exactly like what we went through with Penny. The vet had us add cooked lean ground beef to her ID food, and that really helped her start eating again. It took a long time to get her eating going. Our vet was worried about all the weight she lost, so he still has us feeding her waffles with honey to put on weight. It's working!! I hope Gavin continues to improve -- pancreatitis is a bear!!

While in no way trying to de-emphasize the seriousness of pancreatitis or any other illness/condition our poor babies get into I must say that if Oberon knew this was a possible solution he would fake any condition just to get waffles with honey
 
Gavin is back to being a sheltie. he is ASKING for his dinner and watching me like a hawk whenever I go in the kitchen. I am still waiting for his first poop. There is a teensy amount of mushy diarrhea in the yard from last night, but nothing else. He also followed me into my bedroom (and bathroom) when I took a shower, which means he is feeling pretty good.
