Hi! I am new to this site (but not new to cats!)
My cat Lola had to go to the E-vet a couple nights ago. She had been kind of slowing down and showing mild lethargy for a few weeks. Then she suddenly stopped eating and wouldn't move. She stayed in a hunched up position and slept a LOT. So we took her to the vet since she hadn't eaten in two days and was declining fast. We had also noticed over time that she had begun to look skinnier.
Her ALT was 3,032. Her bilirubin was also elevated. The vet told us that there were things they could do to hopefully help her. But that even then,it would not be a guarantee. She ate high quality food, no people food and never ate things she shouldn't. But the vet said that the ALT number was the highest she'd ever seen. She was clearly in a LOT of pain so I chose to put her to sleep. Any ideas at all as to what would cause an ALT *that* high? Thank you.
