Hi everyone. My cat is a 4 year old siamese/american shorthair mix. A few weeks ago, he stopped eating and started losing weight. We took him to the vet where they tested him for feline leukemia and it came back negative. They did a complete blood count and it all came back normal. They did an x-ray and found some gas in his intestines, indicating a blockage but the gas subsided after a few days. They tested him for FIP and foreign infection and it came back negative.
My vet sent his test results to a vet at U of M and she's not sure what's wrong with him. They did an ultrasound on his abdomen and now they think it's pancreatitis, which they are treating with antibiotics, IV fluids, and IV antibiotics but it's not having any effect. His abdomen is full of what they think is pancreatic fluid. He's very uncomfortable and he won't eat or drink.
They're going to continue treatment for a few more days but if he doesn't get better, they recommend putting him to sleep. We're out of ideas. Does anyone know of any similar cases?
