Nipsy sick? Off to the vet
Nipsy, 7-8yo long hair.
About two months ago he lost is voice for a few days. I checked on internet and it seems to often be caused by a cold and he did seem a bit more lethargic than normal so I gave him a few days and his voice sort of came back. First just a pathetic yip but soon enough he was whining just like always. He's never been a very happy cat and I used to bring him to the vet when he sounded particularly unhappy but there was never anything wrong. But he also started sneezing a few weeks back. Since this coincides with Scooter starting to live in the house, upsetting everyone, I figured he might even be allergic to Scooter. I am a bit allergic to him. Plus everyone is upset , Nipsy lesa I was away for a week and the cat sitter reported that Nipsy was sneezing quite a bit, and last night he was really sneezing a lot so off we went to the vet this morning. He seems to have lost quite a bit of weight and his temperature was low. I can't understand the weight part - he has been 15.2 for quite some time on my household scale and I weighed him a few weeks ago. I'll drop him on it tonight but if he lost weight it was pretty sudden. Since he's a big longhair it's tough to tell. Anyway, $200 for visit, CBC/Chem, T4, and Amoxicillin. Hopefully we turn up nothing bad but the vet did say a chest x-ray might be needed. Well, start up the purring machine. Hopefully nothing serious here. |
