My cat, Kai, 3 year male siamese, has been acting out of sorts lately...he used to follow me everywhere but now doesn't and seems rather lethargic. His appetite fluctuates, sometimes he eats more and other times less. So when we took him to the vet she gave him antibiotics and meloxicam and sent us home without much of a diagnostic. For a couple of days he wasn't getting better. Everything was the same. So we took him to the same vet again, and she ran a blood test saying that his white blood cell count was high. In other words there was an infection somewhere but they didn't know where. So they sent him with more meloxicam, gave him antibiotics and sent some home with us. I really feel like something is amiss and being overlooked by this vet...she doesn't understand how frightened I am to lose my best friend, especially at such a young age...it makes no sense to me, why didn't they even try to look what the infection might be? She even said that they found nothing in a urine test...(not sure how they went about getting a sample, but oh well...) anyways, please I hope someone here can lend some advice. Should I seek out a different vet? Should I risk trusting her? What should I do...? By the way, he's already vaccinated for all of his shots up to date including the one to prevent leukemia, if that helps. I really hope to hear back soon and I'm sorry for any typos. I'm on my phone and it's not easy using the keyboard. Thank you lots. :'(
