RE: Mystery of Ghandi

[Hideyo Yamamoto]

Actually, the temp was normal at the vet which was two days ago.. he seemed warm this morning and hiding so I took the temp – and was 102.5 or something – Hon, he has not been wormed for anything at this time, I am so afraid to give him anything since I was not sure how he was doing internally at all –   The only thing was the albumin (?) (a potion of total protein) was lower, then, globlin was normal) – the vet said that lowness of albmin was due to dietary since he was really not eating cat food – Since two days ago, he started eating A/D cat food, but only from my finger.. he does not want to eat off the plate…but it’s a good step.. and he ate some this morning, too.. I just don’t know what’s going on.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nina Sent: Friday, October 07, 2005 2:10 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: Mystery of Ghandi   So, Ghandi's symptoms are that he's lethargic/not energetic, has a slight temp at times and is not eating enough?  No diarrhea, no vomiting.  Hmmm.  That doesn't sound like Giardia/Coccidia to me, but then, I'm no vet.  Has he been wormed for the regular type of parasites?  I've never heard of worms causing a temp, but then a temp of 102 - 103, is not really that high.  Temps can be higher under stress, and sometimes even just taking a temp can be stressful.  If this was done in the vet's office, no doubt the little guy was feeling stressed at the time.

Ghandi does not have diarreah and haven’t done the exam yet – the vet took try to take some samples when taking his temperature, but it was not enough for fecal exam – so I am supposed to take samples to them when I get some.. and have not done that -  he is not vomiting at all, and the vet told me that she would not necessary treat animals with giardia if they are not having diarrhea.. so I don’t know what do to..   I gave Panucur to Jasmine – and was a bit worried because she acted very differently I gave some drug (and I only gave a half of what I was supposed to do) – she is ok now, but now I am really nervous about giving a drug to Ghandi, too…
