Hi All,
Welcome to Mooshy’s story. She is a 2.5 year old kitty who was adopted from the shelter when she was 16 weeks old.
In October of 2020, she started to have a runny nose. Her nose started to deform and become ulcerated. She was acting normal, eating and playing otherwise.
She went to the vet and had her nose tested for fungi - negative. She received an antibiotic shot which got rid of her nose issues for 2 weeks. Then it was back, and then back to the vet she went.
She got another antibiotic shot and a blood test. Her blood test returned with high levels of protein. Potentially FIP. She got tested for FIP - negative. Her nose issues went back to normal and she was healthy and normal. A few weeks passed by and she started eating less and her nose began to bleed because she was pawing at it. Back to the vet again, and she had a biopsy completed on her nose.
She received injectable antiobitoics, steroid and iv.
Her biopsy results came back as inflammation. The doctor said potentially allergies. This was almost 4 weeks ago. I have been feeding her with a syringe and changed her diet. She was very letheragic and sleeping all day, with no appetite. I noticed her eyes began to get cloudy and very watery. We rushed her back to the vet.
She had blood work done yesterday, received antibiotic shot, and an appetite shot, oral antibiotics and eye cream and pills to increase her appetite as well.
Shes been doing a little better since, walking around more, eating a little more, and her eyes have cleared a tiny bit.
Her vet called this morning to let me know her blood results returned and her protein is still high; she also has a bladder infection. Her vet suspects tumor/cancer.
She is going back tomorrow for an X-ray and then an ultrasound a week later.
I am at loss for words and devastated. I’m praying for a miracle it’s not cancer or a tumor, she’s still only a baby. I’m hoping it’s something else that’s treatable. But I need your guys help. My vet isn’t giving me clear answers and I don’t know the right questions to ask. I asked him what would happen if nothing showed up on the X-ray or ultrasound, how can we determine what type of cancer. He said I’d have to see a specialist to do a bone marrow test?
I need advice on what I should do next, or what I can do to help her feel better. Or any other possible issues she could have that the vet isn’t catching?
Any advice or thoughts would mean the world to me. Here is a photo of my angel before her weight loss and illness.
