Also, thank you Kwik for the support and encouragement. Praying for you and family. :tabbycat:

I'm posting this for anyone else who may experience these symptoms. The leaking came back and it was no longer clear but blood. I just came back from a new vet and had an ultrasound, more bloodwork, x-rays and biopsy performed. Pesky has a mass around his liver, his spleen does not look good...

I went to the clinic and asked them if I could visit my cat for a few minutes while he was being held. I heard a poor cat screaming while having surgery and was told no because the kennels where the animals are held are in the surgery room... I just don't have words.

:)

Thank you all. Pesky's doing a lot better. I've replaced his collar with a cat shirt that he wears in the day while monitored, and a collar at night so that he can't lick himself. There's been no sign of "leakage" for almost a week now and his stomach is healing. Here is a picture from this...

Here is the response from the cat vet: --- I am concerned that Pesky has a form of vasculitis (inflammation of the blood vessels, in this case the vessels in his skin). I've recommended some more tests to your vet including chest xrays, abdominal ultrasound, and biopsy of the skin to get us...

Thanks :) You're right about the over grooming. Here are pictures of his stomach today. This is a vast improvement over last week when the whole area was dark purple.

No update yet as I'm still waiting on the cat hospital for a prognosis. They are not taking new patients so will not see him directly but will look at the medical file. My vet says to tell them to give me the prognosis directly so I hope he is not adverse to prescribing any medications the cat...

His name is Pesky lol. We're praying for both you and your kitty family. Everything will be fine. Psalm 56:3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.

No need to apologize my friend, I wasn't thinking straight but your advice was what I needed to hear. I had them do chemistry and without your suggestion I wouldn't have known to ask for that. :) They also did bloodwork, FIV and Leukemia and will fax to the cat only clinic tomorrow. The regular...

Antonio65 I'm sorry. It's been a rough weekend and I haven't slept in a while and we're devastated. Thank you everyone for the suggestions. Will update as soon as anything happens.

Thank you. I agree and am grateful they are willing to look at his file.

I've already addressed my initial statement in the post above yours so why frame your answer in this way? but since you bring it up, yes it is a cash grab. If my vet had no idea what the illness was he should have referred to a specialist rather than throw every medication at him hoping...

Thanks for letting me know. I'll ask my vet to run these tests and forward the medical files to the cat vet to save time.

Thx. Yes we're feeding him and coaxing him to drink. If not, we syringe him a little to keep him hydrated. He's using the litter box. He's still acting normally although he's a little wiped out. He's sleeping a lot. He's currently walking around leaving a trail of red droplets and I'm...
