2 days before (Jan 28th, today is Jan 30th), I had a visit to the vet for my cat's check-up because he was lethargic and wouldn't get up. Here are the notes I had to give my vet :
- When he ate, he vomited
- He wasn't drinking that much
- Has been experiencing diarrhea for a long time now
- Lethargic
- Lies down for hours and doesn't move at all
- Cold feet and ears
- Wants to hide
- Opens his mouth while lying down
My vet then asked questions like, how severe is his diarrhea was and if he was eating well. His diarrhea wasn't too severe and he still has the desire to eat though only ate a few. The vet also did a test, I don't exactly know what it was because of my bad memory, it sounded like Farvo corona? Parvo corona? Farbo corona? I don't exactly know which and what it was, I speculated that it might be related to feline coronavirus. The test came out negative so the doctor prescribed me an antibiotic (Metronidazole) and supplement (Nutriblend gel), also recommended me to feed him royal canin gastrointestinal as well as ener-g probiotic. I've been giving him all the instructed medication and after 2 days, he's been getting better. This morning he was less lethargic but has been breathing really quickly, purred for a while then stopped. He also started lying down inside the litter box. It was suspicious but he didn't seem tired or lethargic anymore. He even started playing with our other cat and also started walking more instead of lying down for hours. His poop was better than before, It's still soft but now has a shape to it unlike before it was soft served or even close to watery.
Is there a possible chance that my cat has early symptoms FIP or FCOV? Or just a problem with his stomach? Should I go to the vet again?
I'm also sorry if my grammar isn't the best, I havent slept for hours now from worry.
