Hi all,
nice to meet you all, looking for a little reassurance after a tricky week. Any thoughts and guidance welcome.
background:
Came back from holiday on Saturday after 2.5 weeks away with the cats being looked after by a cat sitter. Cat was noticeably thinner, lethargic, no interest in food and generally unhappy. I took him to the vets immediately who recommended he stay in over night to rehydrate. Cat had a fever that was waxing and waining. Liver tests showed nothing out of the ordinary and after a night on a drip seemed much better. By Wednesday he’d got a little better, then a little worse so took him back to the vet he noticed some jaundice (by this point he was very lethargic and uninterested in food).
he has spent the night at the vets again in more fluids with a plan to do an ultrasound and feed him through a tube today. He has high bilirubin levels.
can provide more detail if requested but those are the key findings.
update: ultrasound suggests he has a large amount of fluids accumulated in his abdamon.
