Two weeks ago, we took a stray cat that we had brought into our home to the vet for wellness check and to test for infectious diseases. He is now indoor only but had been living part time in our barn for several years. We seemed to hate us until about 6 months after he was TNR'd. When we took him to vet he had already been inside for 5 months, was treated with revolution twice before bring inside and was flea free and, we thought, worm free. He was happy, active and seemingly healthy. He was the best mannered cat we have ever had! The vet wormed with Drontel, gave him a three yr Rabies and a three year FVRCP bundle. We knew something was wrong very soon after getting him home but initially thought it was the worming. He would hardly eat anything. After a few days I called the vet office and was told to try different foods by the Tech. Well, he continued to get worse. Not playing, not his usual starved self that would eat anything. Took him in yesterday, bloodwork showing he has anemia but his body is trying to make new red blood cells. Vet said could be many reasons including the vaccines. I say it was absolutely the vaccines. The before and after is dramatic. He started liquid Prednisolone today as well as an appetite stimulant yesterday. No change yet. Actually seems weaker tonight. Wracking my brain trying to find ways to get food into him. All he shows interest in is the tube paste treats.
