Took my cat in to yet another vet yesterday, since the one I wanted to see was not in and would not be in till Wed. Vet recommended by friend. Cat was not eating and they said I should really bring her in right away. From the not eating and drinking lots of water, the suspicion was early kidney failure for my 12.5 year old. Blood work was done, as well as a urinalysis before yesterday. Blood found in urine, as well as levels from blood work showed signs of kidney failure. I was tired of the guessing game and wanted to know what is wrong with her and needing to get her back to eating, so went to this vet. Wouldn't an xray or ultrasound tell us for sure??? I have no idea but I would think we would want to see what is going on...maybe gall stones, I am guessing here but I can tell you now I have been up all night with an angry, not feeling so good cat. She has been growling, so much worse feeling than she was or at least more vocal. Given Baytril (in place of the amoxi we had been using) and an appetite stimulant (Cyproheptadine) and very sm amt of pepcid. She has been eating her dry food, which she has not really touched in weeks, but it is now seeming to upset her. Any suggestions? Please?
Thank you so very much!
