Hi everyone, about a week ago we noticed that Brandy (our 8 month old Birman) had gone off her food, she was always quite a podgey greedy little thing so we were concerned, I bought her some wet food (she usually only has dried) to see if that would help, but she only picked at it and it took her two days to eat what she would normally have eaten in about 5 minutes.....I took her to the vet last Thursday, and they said she had a slightly high temperature and she felt constipated, they gave me some laxative for her and a special mushy food that I had to force feed her as by this time she had stopped eating altogther, - though she was still drinking. Anyway I force fed her the food for three days until we ran out, and I gave her the laxative medicine, after that she managed to go to the toilet once, but her stool was really dark and very hard.....anyway she seemed to start trying to eat again just picking at wet food now and then, but she still has not put any weight on, she looks ill to me, she's very thin and lethargic, though she still purrs and follows me round the house occasionally. However, the vet said that if she didn't show any signs of improvement to take her back to have a blood test, - they think it could be Feline Leukeamia!! Of course this has REALLY worried me, I love my baby so much and I also have 4 other babies to think of. I have to take Brandy to the vet tonight for the blood test, and then wait a couple of days for the results...... Im just soooo worried I hope to God it's not Leukeamia.....
Thanks for listening to me go on, I've got my fingers crossed for the vets tonight
Thanks again...
