If my boy is sick...I may just lose it.
Long story: 2 Cats- Brother (Dash) and sister (Gracy). Healthy and no problems. Had a flea problem last summer, but it's all resolved.
Gracy died this morning after a 5 day battle with anemia. She was fine one day, off the next, sick the next, severe the next, critical the next. We just brought her home from the vet Saturday and was "stable" but within 24 hours she rapidly declined.
Dash all good BUT his RBC is high. I do not know the numbers. Our vet is concerned that Gracy had and Dash has PK. I need to line the litterbox with white paper to see the color of his urine.
I am so sleep deprived from force feeding Gracy and all of the crying that I've done today that I am in fight mode.
I read that "Cats that undergo a bone marrow transplant may have a normal lifespan. Unfortunately, those that are left untreated will typically die by four years of age as a result of bone marrow or liver failure. Most of these patients develop severe anemia and accumulation of fluid in abdominal cavity (ascites) during the terminal stage of the disease."
Anyone have any insight??
