Hi, been reading for hours and hours straight now.
Ok, background - FIV positive, seven year old female, fully vaccinated and fixed. Caught her in March and was pregnant, had liver failure, lost kittens, barely survived herself, rebounded great. Was in isolation from March to June, then she was let out with my other cats (she is very cat friendly, but does not allow humans to touch her). She has access to a lot of the house, but she stays in a bedroom almost all of the time by choice. It is a mutli-cat household.
Saturday, notice spots of diarrhea on the floor, Sunday confirmed it was her because she was going a lot and everywhere, not controlling it. Took to vet Monday, CBC, chem analysis, fecal check all normal, attention turned to GI issue, got some fluids, ivomec, some GI food. She was eating up through Sunday, Monday and Tuesday was not, back to vet on Wednesday and she got hospitalized. Thursday vet said tested positive for the Panleauk.
She has been alert, not lethargic but low on energy, not hiding, is drinking water but not eating. Diarrhea but not throwing up, diarrhea is clear with a brown tint, very light brown and smell difficult to describe, but smells like say some old wet cat food left out or something, no the "poo" smell, if the description helps.
I am not challenging the diagnosis, just trying to understand; the CBC was normal on Monday, she has not vomitted, she drinks water though of course that could have stopped if I not taken action. She is vaccinated but of course immune compromised due to FIV and maybe the liver failure earlier. So question is; anything unusual with the diagnosis?
I also have two kittens not vaccinated, actually due tomorrow to get it done, they were exposed to this. I have gotten advice on what to do, but any more advice? I am not even sleeping, watching them, my wife is staying up watching them, and I read even getting vaccinated, if exposed before, still may not help.
