lethargic, trouble jumping, loose stool
Thanks for your interest. My cat had a high fever and a high
white-cell counts. My vet believes my cat has an abscess somewhere. He gave my cat a shot of antibiotic and put him on 3mL of amoxicillin per day. This was much easier said than done, by the way. You see, I have a Bad Kitty, and after a vicious sounding battle with the vet and technician to get a blood sample, they had to sedate him. Just before he went down, he left behind a nice, solid turd... a kitty "middle finger," I like to think. I'll admit, even though I'm embrassed by his behavior, I'm a little proud at the same time! Way to go, kitty! You tell that vet who's boss! Almost 24 hours later, his symptoms haven't changed. The vet said to give him a few days to get better. Cross your fingers.

My cat is going on 4 years old. He's generally healthy and active. Recently his stool hsa been loose and has been more lethargic than usual. I noticed that he was having trouble jumping a few days ago. He had to kind of climb up on our bed (rather than jump), and he wouldn't even try for the bathroom counter. We have not changed his diet, we don't have any house plants. My other cat is fine. Any thoughts? I wish I had taken him to the vet sooner, but my typical pet philosophy (to prevent me from always running to the vet) is that if things are going "in" and coming "out," he's probably OK. I give specific symptoms, a week, unless he's obviously in pain. Like I said, I'm going to the vet today. However, if I can get a few ideas of what might be wrong beforehand, I would feel better prepared to ask appropriate questions. Thanks, joseph |
