Hi there, so about a week ago my 9 mo old kitten started to develop a 1cm abscess on her center forehead between her eyes and little above the nose bridge. She has a history of mild URI since she was born at a rescue (which was what we fostered her for) and while it went away after we started giving her antibiotics it came back after a week or two of stopping it. Vets advised that we wait a little but then when we went for a check up to see what the abscess was we found out that her lung did not sound good & performed bloodwork.
The result:
Her WBC, Lymphocyte, Monocytes, Phosphorus, Anion Gap, and ALP were high & Glucose significantly low (60).
I'm taking her to do a spot bg check tonight to see why glucose is so low, but I feel like vets have no idea what's causing her respiratory infection. With the abscess and the fact that antiviral didn't work for her but antibiotics did, I am suspecting a fungal infection. Does anyone have had a similar experience with their kitty?
Other than these results she energy level, appetite, and drinking is completely normal.
