My cat is about five years old and about one month ago she stopped eating. She hasn't been going poop too often either. She is still drinking water. I took her to the vet today and they did blood work. Her white cell count came up low, but her liver and kidney tests were fine.
The vet said that she could have distemper since her white blood cell count is low. She's been vaccinated for distemper since she was a kitten. Is this likely?
Does anyone know what else could cause a low white blood cell count? The vet gave her some prescription wet food, but of course she wont touch it. She will eat tuna, though. She loves tuna. I've been trying not to give her too much because I know its not good for her, but I am desperate to keep her hydrated and healthy.
Any advice or opinions are welcomed!
