Hello everyone. I used to post here four years back when I first got my kitty. Her name is Pablo (well I suppose cats aren't that gender finicky about their names, so please don't comment on that .) I am posting here again after four years as my cat is in a very critical condition right now. She is four years old and a week back she was perfectly healthy, happy and active. However, since last Monday she started exhibiting strange symptoms which alarmed me. Complete lack of appetite, lethargy, very little urination and no pooping at all. I immediately contacted the doctor and the blood test result showed a high creatinine level and a very low white blood cells count. She was immediately put on fluids. Tomorrow a second blood test is due. She has showed no signs of recovery. She rejects food and water and keeps sleeping the whole day. The doctor is suspecting feline distemper. I come from a small town in India and cats aren't still popular pets here. Distempter vaccines weren't introduced until late. Neither was I aware about it nor was my vet until late. I am getting very paranoid. She doesn't have any other typical symptoms of distempter like vomiting, diarrhea or a high fever. On the other hand, it seems her kidney is at risk due to the high creatinine level.
I feel very helpless and paranoid. Pablo is an indoor cat and she is like my child, the thought of losing her is making me paranoid. Please, any advice will be appreciated.
