Every vet in the office is now reviewing Jack’s case. Everyone is baffled at this point. The only abnormal lab test Jack has so far is elevated monocytes. The vet told me his intestines are very inflamed. They are now screening him for additional parasites, they told me they are suspecting

After looking for months and months for the perfect shelter cat for our home, we found a very loving cat (Nick) at the shelter that stole our hearts. He was housed with another cat (Jack), who was clearly very ill. He was breathing out of his mouth, gasping for air, with drainage coming from his...
