Fine until about 3 weeks ago. Started with decreased appetite, vomiting undigested food, behavior changes. Went 5-6 days with little intake. Several visits to vet over the past 3 weeks. Blood test revealed positive FIV. ALL other blood work normal. No fever, no diaherra. He has periods of feeling well and acting normal followed by periods or days of feeling and looking ill. Ultrasound of abdomen revealed enlarged spleen. I have him on interferon, reglan, pepsid and carafate. He has not vomited but a couple of time this week and the ill episodes way out weight the feel good episodes. His appetite is good and he has not lost any weight. He does not have hairballs. I brush him several times a day and vomiting has never been a problem until 3 weeks ago. He is scheduled for a endoscopy in the morning. Any suggestions??? He seems to feel bad after eating. He weights 13 lbs and has maintained his weight over the past 3 weeks. His behavior has done a 360 degree change over the past 3 weeks. I have not changed anything in the diet. I am at wits end!!! Please help, it is killing me to watch him suffer so. Since he is an "outside" cat, he is subject to the dozens (or more) thinks that outside cats are in danger of. I had on who died last year from Round-Up weed killer poinoning. Your cat could have been poisoned by something like that, of perhaps eating snails or slugs that were poisoned by arsenic or something else like that. I don't know whether or not the blood tests that your vet gave him would detect anything like that. In the case of my cat, the vet knew immediately because he was in liver failure, and his soft tissued, especially the eyes and mouth were yellow. but your cat could have gotten into something that is much more subtle and doesn't show uo so easily. Most anything will show uop in the proper blood test, but to test for everything is impossible, and probably has financial limitations long before you would be able to pinpoint anything. Perhaps you could ask your neighbors if they put out any plant/animal poisons recently. BILL read that post was from Jan 2006 the person responded to I never rread the dates.... I wonder if his cat is still alive and well...... |
