Hello,
I'm new here. My name's Naiara and in April I rescued a kitten. She had been abandoned on a box. She had around 40 days when I found her. She seemed happy and healthy until 2 months ago. She started vomiting nonstop, quit drinking water and eating by herself (actually, she felt sick just smelling food). I took her imediatelly to the vet and they performed lots of exams on her. Blood tests, x-ray examination and ultrasound. Non efusive FIP was the most probably disease. Even before the results, the vet gave her predsidone right away and in two days she was doing great. But it turned out it wasn't FIP. Well, great news, right? But not so much. Now they thought it was lymphoma. So she is still on predsidone (but reducing doses) and doing great still. But two days ago, at night, she started breathing fast. This is the only symptom, actually. Breathing fast. She eats and drinks normally, pees and poos as well. Plays a lot. But all the time with this fast breathing going on. So I waited for the next day (because when I noticed it, the vet wasn't working because it was in the evening). So I took her to the vet, she was examined and after the examination, the vet told me she was in pain an this was probably the reason why she was breathing like that. So she gave her a shot of a painkiller and told me to check her during the rest of the day to see if the fast breathing would stop. Well, it didn't. And I can't stand seing her that way. So I have to take her again to the doctor to more examinations and probably more $$ on new blood tests, x-ray, ultrasound. Any ideas of what could it be? ;( She's just a baby and I'm getting pretty sad about it. Thank you!
