Hi,
Haven't posted in a long time, all this while was doing what I could to help my kitties the best way I can.
Just came back from the vet, Chi has not been feeling well all week, and her pain was too much for either of us to take, so rushed her to the nearest hospital in the area and the results of her chem and CBC are low RBC, high WBC and elevated ALT and neutrophils. She also had elevated glucose, the vet though says that this is normal given the stress level.
Her ALT was slightly elevated last year. It is now 194. Her RBC 5.67 , HCT 24.8 HGB 8.6 WBC 16.94 NEU 14.12
She is more dehydrated than usual - have been giving her sub-q as needed. Today gave her 100 cc - but she is still dehydrated and don't know if I should give her more. The vet, was not helpful with anything. I basically just went to get the results of the blood tests to see what we're dealing with, if only to get some kind of picture. Where we are is very hard to find a good vet and we're still looking.
He wrote her a prescription for antibiotics, - amoxicillin. She is eating some, sleeping a lot but basically - conked out.
Could be IBD, she's had loose stools, some light, some dark. Could this also be parasite related? Would it be safe to give her another drontal? Last dose was in April and I did see fleas on her before combing them out.
I have 2 babies, she is my mama cat. This is very hard for me.
