Sex: Neutered Male
Breed: Oriental Short Hair
Age: 17 months
Indoor kitty with leashed trips in backyard only.
No plants in house
Last month my kitty had his blood work results. It showed a High ALT of 330 and "Increased" White Blood Cell Count. Everything else was normal.
Vet retested his blood work today and the results were higher, ALT of 445 and still Increased White blood Cell account. Everything else was normal.
Vet also did a GGT test, should have the results back in a day or two.
Only other issue my poor guy has going on is having a fractured femoral head (will have surgery Wednesday for that). High ALT level problems were going on BEFORE the leg fracture.
Not sure what is going on with his liver. Does anyone have some advice or experience with this?
Besides the fractured hip/leg, you could not tell that anything is wrong with him. Eats well, plays, etc.
Only other odd things I noticed since he was a kitten was:
Drinks a lot of water - Tested thyroid and Urine... nothing wrong.
Yawns - A LOT....
FIP/FIV/ Leukemia - Negative
Has anyone had any experience with this this Liver issue or have experience with Siamese/Oriental Cat Breed problems?
Thank you
