So, my husband and I took our cat to the vet due to a seemingly double ear infection that also looked like it was making it hard for her to eat due to jaw movement. However, at the vet, she did bloodwork and general look over. She was very concerned and saw that our cat was very stressed. Her heart was galloping as well. Her bloodwork didn' come back great. However, the test wasn't a coverall. It was a fiv slash leukemia check. Negative. However, doc saw her pc was down to 12%. Cat was mouth breathing, you couldn' touch her ears or head area at all, stressed. She gave her a long acting antibiotic shot and an anti inflammatory shot as well. Now just a week and a half prior to this happening, she had gotten spayed because she had pyometra. Spay and neuter clinic did that not the regular vet. We took her back to the vet two days later for more meds and lab work. She said her glucose was slightly elevated but not surprised because of the situation. She did a complete blood work panel. She was thinking she might have kidney or liver issues. Nothing. Zilch. Nada. Zero. She's at a lose. Our girl is dying and we have no reason why. The vet is treating her for the infectious anemia. Our girl as her moments where she seems to be doing better, but she' so exhausted and we'e been havng to give her small pea sized drops of food through a syringe. She has less pain around the ear and jaw area but it' definitely still there. The anemia she has is non regenerative. Doc seems to think she may have had an issue before surgery we didn' know about. She is a daddy's girl and it' killing me to watch him cry as he watches her go through this. I'm wanting to try things to bring up her red blood cell level but we are going to see the vet in a matter of hours and I'll ask if there is a way to save her that way. Sorry so long. It' just een so difficult this past few days. Almost 500 dollars later and no definite answer or treatment. Baffled. Confused. Scared.
