So my kitty Jasmine (17 yo) has been losing weight the past year, maybe longer.  Her back legs seem a bit weak.

Then two weeks ago I saw that she was bleeding from her lower end... either the butt or vagina, wasn't sure which.  A bit later she passed something.  I kept it in the refrigerator, and she seemed to be o'kay afterwards... purring, eating, etc.  So I took and wait and see approach.

Then this past sunday she had the same thing... but she was dripping blood and I could see that it was clearly coming from her vagina area.  And she again passed something. 

Took her to the vet yesterday and had a lookover, blood and urine work done.  He also wanted an xray, but I thought I'd try the blood and urine first, and then go from there.  Vet said what she passed were rather large blood clots.

I got the results back, but have yet to hear back from my vet on his diagnosis.

She has the following items that are running high:

ALT (SGPT) 196 U/L  (ref. range is 10-100)  - this one seems to indicate liver right?

BUN  21.8 mmol/L  (ref. range is 5-12.9)  - looks like high protein, possible GI bleeding?

Cholesterol  6.81 mmol/L  (ref. range is 1.94-5.7)

Amylase  1553 U/L  (ref. range is 100-1200)  - looks like pancreas?

Neutrophils  9.1  (ref. range is 2.5-8.5)  - possible stress/infection/cancer?

WBC 21-50 HPF  (ref. range is 0-3)

RBC 4-10 HPF  (ref. range is 0-3)
Protein  2+  (ref. range is neg)

Blood  2+  (ref. range is neg)

Casts  none seen LPF

Crystals  non seen HPF

Bacteria  Rods  10-25  HPF  (ref. range none)

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Sandra

There are people far more knowledgeable then me on this, I just wanted you to know I'll keep you both in my prayers. Give her a kiss for me, and tell her there will be a lot of people keeping her in their thoughts. Good luck and keep us posted!

So the vet called and left a message on the phone.  He says she definitely has an infection and the antibiotics should help with that.  He says I may want to do another urine test after they run out.  He also thinks, given the results of her urine and blood tests that she may be in the beginning stages of Kidney Failure.  The thing that confuses me with that is that her creatine level is good... it's 163 and the range goes from 53-212.

I really thought he was going to say cancer, but he did not say that at all.

Anyone, thought?

Thanks,

Sandra
