After calling this morning and being told he still won’t eat and nothings gotten better I’m going to bring him home with me that way he will be surrounded by the people and things he loved.
Every cat is different, so 200 is as good of a place to start as any. I will tell you that Feeby (17+yo) needs at least 300 calories to maintain her 11.5 pounds. She is also on Mirataz (1/2 dose every 3 days) to keep her in that ballpark. She probably could use to get Mirataz every other day, as I have noticed by the 3rd day her calories sink from over 300 to about 250. I do supplement her food with Gerber Stage 2 - she gets about 1 jar a day (so, 80-90 extra calories). Of course, I think her hyperthyroidism is a factor.Grabbed a ton of different high calorie canned food, nutri cal another syringe and greenies pill pockets. He’s about 12 pounds so I’m aiming for at least 200 calories is that about right? He’s getting the appetite stimulant when I get home.
There really isn't anything in a CBC that would denote much about liver function - that would be part of the Chemistry Panel.I’m worried about his liver do y’all know how to read blood work? I have his info and wanted to check it.
I have no idea what those are, but I think they may be a bit more expedient analysis of the CBC and Chem panels, from what I can tell. It would seem that they might be processed 'in house' vs. sending the blood off to a lab for analysis. Feel free to post them here, but hopefully, the 'ranges' are listed because that is the only way to know what scale/gauge is being used. Many labs use different parameters, so it is like comparing apples and oranges if the ranges are not included.They did a ProCyte dx hematology analyzer and a catalyst dx chemistry analysis.
