We have two Russian Blue cats. The older one is in great health.
The other is not, and we don't know why, here's the story....
The cat is a 2 year old, neutered male. We initially took him to vet because he got to a certain skinny looking weight and wouldn't put on any more weight.
Compared to our older Russian Blue he is very skinny and a lot smaller in stature.
The vet was concerned about his weight and took numerous blood tests, including tests for Feline Leakemia & cat aids, cat flu etc...
The only thing the vet could find was a heightened white blood cell count.
The vet proscribed antibiotics to try and clear it up. Whilst on the antibiotics he improved, gained weight and had more energy.
However twice he has had a recurrence and twice we've been back to the vet with no clear answer. In the last few days he has lost his appetite and frequently cries out at us as if he's trying to tell us what's wrong.
He appears to be in a lot of pain and is listless.
Prior to losing his appetite he would gobble down food as fast as he could. He would then vomit it up, we've also found the remains of bird in his vomit.
Has anyone had a similar experience with their cat and was there a diagnosable problem, what was the outcome?
We love him very much but don't want him to suffer needlessly.
