Hello, my dear Simba is sick and is at the vet right now because they are force feeding him and keeping him hydrated through an I.V. We took Simba to the vet about a month ago because we noticed he has lost a little weight. They did blood work on him and took a urine test and only found bacteria in his urine. They gave us Antibiotics to give to him for 7 days to clean it out. He was eating at the time and seemed to be his normal self.
Just recently we have noticed more weight loss, low energy and not eating. They did more blood work today and once again found nothing. They did an xray and found his liver and kidney enlarged but doctor said it may be from his lack of eating and dehydration.
They are not able to give me a straight answer to what may be causing this. He gags from the smell of food but the veterinarian said it also maybe due to abnormality in his liver. They said he will need over night care and an ultra sound from a specialist.
I need some feedback to see if anyone has experienced this. Also does anyone know how much an ultrasound cost and an over night stay is? Please, need some feedback asap. We are picking Simba up in a couple hours to bring him to the specialist. Thank you!
