My 10yr old indoor Cat Has Anemia & abdominal bleeding

Good advice, I am looking into it now. However, So far, these meds have helped significantly, and I did receive advice from a Homeopathic specialist regarding them.. I didn't just select these entirely on my own. I want nothing more than to do the best thing for my boy... I am just over my head in debt with this incident, and at this point, 180$ an hr. for advice just isn't feesable nor considerate. I am hoping to find someone who can guide me without breaking me as all the other vets did. Someone credible and reasonable, BOTH. This is such a tough time for me... I truly wish none of this ever took place at all.

I so feel for you, I've spent enormous amounts of money on vet care this year  and I never felt so helpless as when he was hospitalized and not eating and they couldn't figure out what was wrong.  Plus the thought of the animal suffering and not knowing what to do it's just heartbreaking and so, so stressful.  There's no piece of mind in that situation - none - just jumping from one place to another as far as thinking what could be wrong and what needs to be done.   At least he's eating and didn't someone say that it might be good that it's draining if it's an infection of some sort? 

Mel I realize that they didn't tell you for sure what it was, but did they tell you what it might be?

The last picture of his tummy looked SOOO much better, but now I see the blood/fluid trail, what happened and where is it coming from?

He was doing so well!  So sad to hear about this setback. 

Yes, and I am keeping that in mind that the draining might be nessesary, however, I am afraid that the blood loss will make him anemic again. I have worked so hard to get his blood count up again... The last thing I want is for him to lose blood. The fluid is coming from that scab on his lower abdomen, it's circular and the size of a dime. It seems to be expanding wider to the size of a nickel. I am doing my best to keep it clean with perixide, monitor him and place antibiotic ointment on it so it can heal. I am trying to do it while he sleeps so he can't lick it off. And again, none of the vets told me anything specific as far as what this can be, but they ALL agreed that this is a bad reaction to the vaccines. That's a NO BRAINER. I provided them with everything they needed to make that decision, as far as his history, and clearly he is a very healthy can that is well taken care of and was perfectly fine prior to the vaccination. It's just unreal that I am going through this. It's definitely an eye opener about all vaccines in general, human beings included. I will always seek natural alternatives.

This is my mattress, it has several big stains like this all over... I just noticed another big trail of blood all over my living room to the litter box to the kitchen... This is driving me insane. :'(

These are all of the products I have had to invest in (this far, more on the way) to attempt to save my cats life after vaccinations went terribly wrong for him. He received a rabies and distemper shot August 18th of this year, and I was never asked any questions nor informed of the possible dangers of these vaccines.. My cat is 11yrs old and does not go out doors, he is a condo living cat who eats organics and drinks purified water. He also has been on vitamin suppliments his whole life. I regret the day I took him for a routine check up. It lead to the nightmare I'm in. I have to give him all of these Homeopathic medicines/vitamins/suppliments in rotation, spaced apart... My state of being has been drastically altered from having to worry about him constantly, and watch him around the clock. Luckily, he is such am angel, and doesn't give me any issues with taking his meds/suppliments. But to put him through this in vane because the idiot vets decide to vaccinate when not nessesary is disgraceful and unjust! I wish he can speak.. Because I know all of this is so unpleasant to have to go through. :'( my heart breaks for him.

Please please try one more vet. Are there any vet schools near you? Where I live, if there is a problem the vet cannot solve, we get referred to the nearest vet school. Take all records with you. Even if it involves a 2 or 3 hour drive.

Your cat may bleed out. If he needs a blood transfusion, you can't do that at home. If he needs steroids...
my guess is that lesion on his stomach is going to get infected. Even with topical antibiotics, it simply is not enough.

Read about sepsis... If he gets bacteria in his bloodstream he will die. My dog got sepsis and was gone within 24 hours even with emergency vet care.

You are playing with fire. With that kind of blood loss, your cat needs more help than you can give.

A vet hospital can check his blood work. If his electrolytes get imbalanced they can try to correct it. There are so many things they can do...

If you can't afford a vet, look for a rescue. There was a rescue here that spent $6000 on a dog with paralysis. The dog needed surgery on his spine...

I beg you to find this cat some help.... steroids are only $30 a shot and are often the first treatment used for vaccine reactions in people.

How many people who got sick died before we had doctors and technology? If herbs were such a cure more doctors would use them. Even my doctor will recommend them if there is scientific support.

If you use Google scholar you can research herbs... I use Google scholar extensively for my book on herbal remedies for GI disorders. But a diagnosis must come first... to pick a herb you need to know whether you are dealing with an infection (and if so what type?).. do you need a systematic antibacterial, or one that is localized to the gi tract only? You need to know the type infection to determine the best herb...

Some herbs only work for certain strains of bacteria. Then there is absorption to consider. A herb that is not absorbed from the intestinal tract will not fix an infection located elsewhere.

Do you need something for inflammatory bowel? Or is it irritable bowl? Something to speed gastric emptying or slow it?

Without a proper diagnosis, from a doctor... you would have to try 50 different remedies and hope you accidentally find one that works.

Your cat doesn't have that much time left. I would be happy to research herbs for you if you get a diagnosis.

I can't help but go back to my original thoughts here, that he needs to heal from the inside out with antibiotics.

Did the vet give you some to take with you? I think I recall that you do have some.

It's like if a person has a cut that gets infected, you can semi keep it at bay to a point, but if there is no help internally, it will not get healed.

@reba You have way too much faith in these same people that caused the issue to begin with. Lets remember that they themselves were treating my cat "blindly" .. As one of the vets put it, simply because they couldn't find a cause for his symthoms, so they decided to throw antibiotics (immune suppressors) and steriods into the equation, which are awful for cats, especially my cats age. One of the doctors from Banfield were originally totally against him having steriods all together. She also told be he is not in condition to tolerate them or anesthesia at his age, and that this is why she wouldn't clean his teeth when I went to have this procedure done Sep. 2nd. She later found out that one of the doctors gave him steriods when he was hospitalized and suddenly she was "for steriods" and insisted that I go there to pick some up from her, mind you... This was after seeing my cat with that huge black and blue abdomen, after the blood transfusion. At this point she says.. We gotta try "something"... Again... BLINDLY treating my cat like some sort of Ginny pig! With all of the blood work they ran, they found no indications that antibiotics should be perscribed due to there being no traces of bacteria production, they found zero abnormalities in his Ultra Sound, and Zero abnormalities in his X-rays ... All which cost me out of pocket hundreds of dollars to have them run plus the visit with was 50 at each hospital, 80 for emergency after hour visit, and 75 for the specialist, it's insane that after all of these test were ran, and all of these Doctors who claim they even asked the opinions of other Doctors in the office, I received no SOLID information as to what exactly is going on, and what exactly I needed to do to begin treating it. So again... These vets are money hungry and even if I had the means to go see one, I would not go that route. When I tell you my cat was already half DEAD when I brought him home, he was worst then when I left him there. I stood up countless nights reading and researching endlessly the possibilities based upon what I read others experienced with Vaccinations, and was mortified to find that many people lost their animals even after spending up to 25, 000 dollars in vet fees!! These vaccinations altered their animals to the point of NO RETURN, and these people who were desperate to see their baby back to full health took the chance of trusting these same vets who put this animal in that very predicament. I ... Yes.... I am the one who brought my baby back to life with the help of God, Lots of love and care, a stress free environment, Organic food & purified water syringe feeding, and homeopathic medicine. He is much better than how they let me have him. I will NEVER in my whole life forget the smell of how he Reaked alcohol from the blood sampling drawn from his neck, and the steriods reaking off of his breath .. I literally smelled these very strong chemicals coming from his nostrils. It was horrible... Even causing him to have some kind of neurological effect, to where one of his eyes would not open fully as the other one.... All of this, plus that horrific bruising on his abdomen, plus that catheter bandaged around him... Poor baby looked like a lab rat! Then they A*****e had the audacity to come in the room with a bland stare...take my 600$.. And tell me that at this point, he doesn't know what to tell me, the blood transfusion was NOT successful, my cats anemia keeps dropping his HCT count, and that they don't know what's causing it so they don't know how to begin treatment, and that they would need to keep me cat as their lab rat to run more and more test till they can find answers etc! Listen, I'm NO FOOL. They just wanna run up more and more bills, they figure that I have NO CHOICE but to trust what they are saying...being that I was desperate for answers... But what kind of person would I be if I allowed these VERY PEOPLE who aren't giving me answers with ALL THE TEST THEY RAN ALREADY, and the very people who made this issue come about ... Not this particular vet, but the others.... Why would I trust ANY of them??? What kind of person does that?! These animals are members of our family!! They can't speak to us, and tell us the awful things that were done to them without our consent! If a baby is being seen at a Hospital, the parent is allowed BY LAW to be present during procedures, YET* if an animal if being treated by a Doctor, you are not allowed to be present for most procedures, why not???? What are they doing to these animals that we can't be present for? How are they handling our furry loved ones who can not speak for themselves?!!! This is another very alarming piece of info. That I want ALL OF YOU cat lovers / animal lovers/ empathetics to think about. And as a matter of fact, we need to raise more awareness on this issue as well as all the others discussed because if makes no sense why they shouldn't allow this, and have some kind of arrangement to make the parent of these animals feel more at ease, I don't care if it's looking through a glass window or something. Surgery is the exception, but all other procedures should be granted. For now, I will continue treatment on my own, as it has been working wonders, he is alert, eating, drinking, pooping etc. all on his own, and was not doing ANY of the above with conventional vet "care".... I ordered two products from amazon for his wound, ones a liquid bandage, one is a gel EMT something.. Don't remember the name exactly but will post when I receive them... And I also ordered Bach Flowers liquid to help ease his stress levels, cause he seems a little irritable, constantly grooming himself, all over in excess.. And is starting to bald around the eyes from it. The homeopathic doctor recommended this plus a powder that I will mix in his food for his other symthoms with the abdomen. I am looking forward to getting them and expecting to see much progress from the combination of all of these things. I just got in the mail another order of his immunity support suppliment vetri-DMG 125mg.. So he is getting all of the right things to give him a fair shot, and has come a LONG WAY from where he was before. The bleeding stopped yesterday on it's own. It seems to come & go, but the blood spots or clotting on his lower abdomen is still very visible. Praying that God will continue to have his hand on this matter and heal him completely. My faith is not shaken! I know this alone has been a miraculous recovery. All 3 vets that saw him last told me that he will likely need to be euthanized, just like that., made no efforts to consider saving a LIFE! We are talking about a LIFE here! Not a couch that gives me comfort with a big Ol stain on it that I can just go replace! That's what these vets believe. That these animals are assesories that are dispensable.. Nothing more. I stand my ground on this.. Cause this is MY story, and those reading may take from it what you wish, but this is how it's all playing out. And I hope it can open many eyes and expose the fact that there is a great problem taking place all over the world with animals. They need to pass a bill of rights that protects them! Yet., I wonder how this can be done when our very OWN Bill Of Rights are slowly being taken away. These times I tell you... It's a global crisis.

@saraann and I appreciate that you would be willing to assist in looking up herbs online for me, that's very kind of you, but again... After all of the test, there is no diagnoses, nothing other than a reaction to these vaccines., the body is attempting to RID itself from the poison.. That's what is going on here. So that's how I have been looking up treatment, based upon what I know is certain. He had anemia.. So I ordered the anemia support, and blood tonic to detox his blood by working on the liver, spleen, pancreas, haemoglobin, eye (optic nerve), nervous system, lungs, and metabolism. All of this stuff is great. A life saver. He has responded to well. I wish there was a way for me to post a video. But thank you for your help, I tagged Reba in my last post, I meant to tag you... And btw.. As you mentioned, I am my cats best advocate and in the event I see something terribly wrong with him, I will run with him to a homeopathic specialist.. I do not believe taking him to a conventional vet will do anything positive for him, as it has done absolutely NOTHING for me thus far but drain my wallet in vane, and leave my kitty worst off than he was before. I am convinced my cat will die in the hands of a vet. And When that day comes where fate comes into play, I would much rather him die at home in my care knowing I did the very best job that I could until the end, attending to his every need one by one, never leaving his side.

This is a clear pic of when I seen him for the first time after being hospitalized with all of those horrible steroids and blood transfusion that didn't even work. He looked like a lab rat.. Notice the eye on the left (his right) that wouldn't open all the way. He remained like this several hours after I picked him up. I was overwhelmed with Grief. This condition has improved with the Homeopathics I have given along with everything else. God is good.

God bless you and give you the strength to keep going. I pray for your cats improvement. I think you are right. It certainly seems that his body is trying to get rid of the poison. You have come this far. Keep going.

To everyone else... Wouldn't you think these drug/vaccine manufacturers have a hotline to answer questions from doctors/vets who have an issue administering their product? It's reprehensible behavior to cause a problem this serious and then turn your back on it. If I cause a problem at the office - yes I am taking responsibility for correcting it. I guess there are plenty of people who don't give a **** no matter what their occupation.

I'm very glad he's improving. Homeopathy can do amazing things that conventional medicine is not capable of.

Hello everyone, I have some updates for you. I spoke with the Manager of Banfield Pet hospital, trying to explain the entire situation to him regarding the awful side effects ADD experienced and is currently experiencing.. And what I needed from them to resolve this issue, which was for them to help me with further diagnostic screening in order to try and find out what is causing this abdominal retention & other issues from the vaccine, and he told me that he could NOT do that. That's right. He refused to assist in finding out the cause of my cats current condition that was created BY THEM! Which tells me they are only interested in using this opportunity to make money off of me, which is why they created this illness to begin with. How SICKENING! To think that this is going on around the world with these innocent creatures. This has to STOP!! I then called the manufacture of the Vaccine which I found out was by looking under the product name, "ZOETIS DEFENSOR 3" and in a nut shell, they gave me a case #, and did nothing! Offered no help in resolving this issue! Who's ear do I have to chew off in order for someone to see how crucial it is that I get screening and assistance with this??? Why aren't these people being complaint?? Or empathetic about this matter, knowing all me and my pet are currently going through and have gone through so far??? It's not comprehendsable what is happening. They simply DON'T CARE. I ended up having to start a fund, being they aren't willing to assist in anyway, and I am out of options at this point, I only have me, my mom, and GOD. This is tough... And it's something that needs attention every single day. I wake an the FIRST thing I do is dose him with homeopathics and calcium montmorillonite clay (to detox him).. It's an everyday thing! I am asking for all of your help to raise awareness on the side effects of these vaccines as well as this fund I started for my boy to help give him a fighting chance. This situation is consuming my every awakening moment, and I am doing all I can to bring this sweet angel back to normal balance, but it's going to take much more than I have.
He goes from high to low rather quickly, and bleeds periodically once the fluid builds up again, and he becomes uncomfortable.. He licks it till the wound is punctured and out comes this great amount of blood/fluid... It's crazy! This has to stop! And for starts, I will need a biopsy, and more homeopathic treatment to help him get better. Anything anyone of you can do to help would be a great blessing for me and A.D.D. And if you can also share this cause on your Facebook/Instagram/or social media site I would be gratified! Time is of the essence, and I need to catch the profession of this thing on time and nip it in the butt for good! My boy is depending on me, his story matters!

If you would like to donate to the cause to help him get screening and treatment done : please send me a PM. Thank you my compassionate feline advocates! And may God bless and be with you always[emoji]10084[/emoji][emoji]128591[/emoji][emoji]10024[/emoji] -Melissa

This is a pic I took yesterday before he started to bleed out.

this pic was taken minutes ago, after ADD licked off the scab that seals his wound from leaking this bloody fluid build up. It's a nightmare to have to go through this with him. I truly wish I never went to the Vet that day at all, he was perfectly in good health, and now I am dealing with this for trying to want to perfect him down to average weight because I thought he was "too fat". See, it's better to be over weight and still healthy, than to be average weight and with an illness and health complication. Lesson learned here is..."if it isn't broken, don't fix it!'"

@MelsBabies, I know you're doing everything you can within your means to help your boy. I'm completely heartbroken by what you and him are going through. I will honestly say that the "bad update" photos are very upsetting to me and I would prefer not to see them. I can only imagine how you must be feeling day in and day out.

I believe you said this "wound" is getting larger. Logically speaking, this to me would mean things are not getting better. The wound should not be getting larger after all this time. I really can't tell what I'm seeing in the picture, but it looks like I'm looking at deep tissue, a gouge in his flesh, like it's getting eaten away. Something is seriously wrong. I know we already knew that, but I really fear the outcome here.

What I fear the most is the pain that he may be experiencing. Cats hide pain really well to the point where it's almost inconceivable. My one true stance above all else is that no cat should be in pain and that every effort should be make to significantly reduce or end any suffering to whatever means reaches that goal.

I encourage you make some calls to good veterinary clinics (preferably cat-only), vet schools within driving distance, etc. and see if they will take up your case.

Not too long ago I was on a vet-hating rampage after Sebastian was given a three-year rabies vaccine without my consent. But if something like this was happening to Sebastian, I could not bear to witness everyday the bleeding and fluid and exposed flesh and tissue. Just writing this and thinking about it makes me tear up. Not in a million years would I let my boy endure such. I would seek more advanced veterinary help. If he could not be helped and the condition was expected to worsen, then I would say goodbye.

Said with the utmost sincerity, I am truly sorry for all that has happened. If I had the power to heal, I'd fly down there and work my magic.
