Update - Good news, possibly bad news
Update on my cat Ana (see thread Contipation and vomiting).
It turns out that constipation is not the real issue here. The vet did another Xray yesterday, which did show some smallish stools, but she said that when she felt her abdomen, the stools did not feel hard, and that the Xray actually looked better than Monday's. So, she did not do the enema. Ana's WBC was again elevated (had bw done last month when she had a previous vomiting episode). This is what is concerning the vet. She is thinking it might be lymphoma, although she doesn't want to alarm me yet, but it is what it looks like. She started Ana on an antibiotic to see if the WBC goes down. For now, Ana is on fluids and will be discharged once she is eating on her own. When I called this morning, the receptionist said she is perked up, friendly and looking for attention. The vet was not available, so I'm waiting for a call back. Please keep positive thoughts that it is not lymphoma. -Kelly |
