Our 11 year old cat Moumouche started to lose weight two months ago, having diarrhea and some vomiting. He is a bit over 6 pounds now from 9 lbs.
The blood panel was CBC/Chem: WBC 22.92, Lymph 6.60, Monos 3.45, Plt 42, TP 5.3, Glob 2.5.
X-rays, Ultrasound suggested lymphoma or an aspect of chronic untreated triaditis.
The fine needle aspiration was done on the abdominal lymph nodes which were enlarged since it was not possible to do it on the spleen or pancreas (poor coagulation with PT/PTT test) Issue with liver?
The neutrophils suggests a suppurative response in the node and/or the drainage area. The lymphoid population is consistent with hyperplasia.
The blood tests are normal, so that means there is no pancreatic insufficiency or other loss of absorption in the small bowel.
COBALAMIN >1000 290-1,500 pg/mL
FOLATE 14.6 9.7-21.6 ng/mL
TLI Feline 25.3 12-82
He eats pretty well when he finds something that he likes but he is still losing weight, straining with liquid bowels and gas. We are using all the different foods recommended with IBD, he bas been taking Mirataz, Prednisolone for almost three weeks now and we started to give him Jarrow Brand S boulardii + MOS and Now Probiotic 10-25 Billion.
What could we look for next? The vet says it might take take some time for Moumouche to gain weight.
Get 2nd opinion?
Thank you.
