This is the condensed version. I'll try to come back in a few days with the gut wrenching long version.
Two year old Tabby laid around and for sure didn't eat or drink anything Tue or Wed.
Thur and Fri (three vets diagnosed Cytauxzoon Felis). Temperature 105 degrees.
Injection of imidocarb dipropionate on Thursday at 4:00pm.
Injection of something to help hydrate him Thursday at 12:00 midnight. Just under the skin, not an IV (found out later that a fluid IV at that time would have killed him)
Started on Azithromycin and Atovaquone and 1000mg Coconut Oil orally Thursday at 12:00 midnight. (continued every 8hrs for 10 days). Washed those down with 5cc water.
Injection of Metacam Friday at noon to help with pain and get fever under control. (cat with high temp won't eat, and cat must eat)
Saturday at 12:00 noon, added 500mg Monolaurin. Continued every 8hrs for 5 days. (washed that down with 5cc water)
After five days, went to two a day on the coconut oil and monolaurin.
At seven days, went to one a day on the coconut oil and monolaurin.
After 10 days continued with just the Azithromycin since we had some left over.
14 days, returned to vet for follow up injection of imidocarb dipropionate.
He would make just few laps of PetAg Mature cat milk supplement immediately after medications on Saturday.
Sunday he would eat three or four TEENY TINY pieces of raw ground turkey immediately after medications.
Each day after, he would either eat a few more chunks of turkey, or take a few more laps of the vitamin milk supplement.
He made it through and is doing good now.
There's lots more to this story. Why we did what we did and when. But, that's for another day when I have more time to tell the whole story.
And no, he didn't get this from Bob. That wasn't possible, and it's been confirmed...just to be sure.
