Hello everyone. I am worried sick. This is going to be a bit long but please I need advice. One of my cats, around 2 years old, my tortie Salem has not been herself since yesterday. I noticed she wasn't moving to go eat, play or even stretch. She spent the whole day laying on a corner and whenever I'd pick her up she would just stay still where I put her. She only got up to use the litter box like 3 times. She pooped and peed but did not want to eat. Also I noticed she has been shedding ALOT. I started brushing her yesterday, I normally never brush her since she is a short haired cat but I did yesterday and a lot of hair would come out. She does not have bald patches but if I keep brushing more hair will come out. I brushed my other cats and none of them had this much shedding, not even the fluffy one! And she has white tiny spots that look like dandruff which started appearing after the brushing.
Today I took her to the vet and she had blood work done which came back fine. Her WBC was normal, no signs of anemia or infection. Her breathing was normal. She had a fever with 104.2. The vet injected her with subcutaneous fluids, cerenia and convenia. She also gave me some tablets to help her with her appetite and nausea. She told me to keep an eye on her and see how she does during the day and in case she stayed the same to bring her back again for more especific tests.
When we came home she ate and drank water many times, was walking again but not very active. I bought her new toys and sprayed catnip she loves and did not want to play. Then later on throughout the day she started acting the same as yesterday...pretty lethargic, purring non stop and hasn't eaten in a while nor used the litter box. I am starting to become very concerned as to why she might be like this. I spent quite a lot of money today and I'm in a budget. If I take her tomorrow it will be even more money. I'd like to ask if some of you may know what could be wrong with her! This started basically out of nowhere. She is strictly indoors and she has all her vaccines, she is spayed and when I rescued her (around 7 months ago) I did the leukemia and fiv test and it came back negative.
Please help, I am scared for my baby, I love her to death. What could be going on?
Summary:
Symptoms since May 7th:
Not eating/ate just a little
Lethargic
Constantly purring
Used the litter box no signs of diahrrea.
Took her to the vet today and got done:
CBC & differential came back normal
No signs of anemia
Vet gave her subcutaneous fluids, cerenia injection, convenia injection
Gave me mirtzapine tabs to help with apetite and nausea
Came home and she ate well
Was walking again but not playing or very active
Started being lethargic again a few hours later
Don't want to move or eat much anymore
Hasn't used the litter box today
I'm becoming desperate, what could he wrong with her?! Don't have much money to be able to afford more especific tests, help!
