I am sorry, I did not minimize your concerns by any means --- since my household is always lots of kaos, my standard is probably off -- Lots of my kitties have had anemia problems and it can be a life threatening, I lost 6 kitties to anemia during the past several months already, so I know that it's not to be taken light.. but I also wanted you to remember his clinical behavioral conditions as it's most important thing of all to consider.
I really do suggest thought, Kelley, have the blood work done for everything, and also female buddy kitty to run all the blood work as well -- urine samples will tell lots of stuff, but not as much as the blood work can tell and to what degree (i.e. kidney problems.. etc) -- please keep me posted. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kelley Saveika Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2007 3:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: More info on Joey Hi Hideyo, He for sure has anemia. He may have cancer - we cant' tell until I save $ for sonogram. He has an ulcerated area on his tongue that has my vet concerned. He is worried about the possibility of FELV.That is a lot of stuff for one cat to have wrong. The female buddy he came in with may have diabetes. He is keeping her overnight to get a urine sample. She is not eating at all. Most of her blood values are WNL. She's very sick, I know that. She's lost 7 lb in 2 month out of 17.2 lbs. She had URI so I treated that and she got better from that..but she kept not eating. I syringe her but sometimes she throws it back up.
