hello. I am in great need of help for my poor boy!
He’s 14 years old. Just a sweet heart. Always cuddles and is up for belly rubs. Visits everyone who comes around and is very socialable all around.
(We recently got a kitten too but this was 6 months ago so I feel like viruses/infections should’ve been passed already?)
However, a couple months ago he got a kitty cold! Sneezing all the time and one eye was watery discharge. Went to the vets and got cured up! No
Problem.
Then about a month ago I see him eating litter! I thought hahaha what are you doing crazy boy! But a quick google search lead me to anemia. A quick trip to the vets confirmed him red blood cells and white blood cells were down!
They said his liver and kidneys were fine though.
The vet put him on supplements to “boost” his vitamins. he’s still just not himself.
Drinks a lot of water!
He’s still active ish. He definitely got more lethargic but he still jumps up on counters and tables.
No fever though.
Not as sociable.
Slight appetite. He’s not as hungry as he once was. Some days he is, somedays he’s not.
Doesn’t sleep with me anymore.
Still eats litter.(non clumping)
A couple weeks later he scratched his head like crazy, jumped all around and started shaking his head. (Head tremors?)
So we rushed him to a vet and they did a CBC and said his white cells were back up. And his kidneys and liver are still good.
So now it’s been a month and he’s still just not himself.
I am puzzled! I just want my kitty to be himself again.
