Hi Everyone,
Let me start by introducing myself. I’m Grant. In 2007, i adopted two brother cats named Mack and Declan and they are the absolute loves of my life. I cherish and adore them as if they were my own children. I know people always say you love your kids more, but i honestly can’t see myself ever loving anything more then my two boys.
they’ve always been really healthy cats. However, about 10 days ago, I noticed that Mack had lost a lot of weight and was hidding a lot, which isn’t like him. I took him to the vet. The vet said that it looked like he had leukemia…his tests came back that he was anemic and that his white blood cell count was off the chart. He said my mack had a week to a couple of months.
I was totally devestated. They gave me a script for steriods and an iv to give him fluids once a day. That was a few days ago.
The thing is taht after a few days of the treatment, he’s acting like his old self. He’s not hiding, he’s hungry/eating all the time (when i put out food…he runs to it) and he’s being cuddly and loving. I don’t want to get my hopes up, but he’s really acting like his old self. The vet made it seem like he wouldn’t be hungry or would maybe hide a bit less, but he’s just acting like normal.
I was wondering if anyone had experience with this…could it be a false diagnosis? is it possible i could have more time with my sweet, loving mack?
