Hi,
Boy, this entry will be much shorter, I promise!!
Thank you all for your suggestions and kind words. I was having a bad night
:( but am back
on track, now!
Went to Vet today. She showed me the blood test and urine results and the
only thing that
was sky high was his ALT on the blood test. Urine was fine. What she said
is that it 'could'
be lymphoma or it could be an imflammation of the liver and did suggest
Milk Thistle. His
gingivitis is still flaring but she said because it's not an infection
because all of his
white blood cell values were normal, Antibiotics (like Antirobe) wouldn't
do anything and
she's hoping that when the liver starts to function better his mouth will
improve.. Also, he
is not dehydrated, which is good. I was going to buy some A/D instead of
using Iam's Kitten
which I pureed for syringe feeding and she said that it was Ok to keep him
on Iam's (it's
not what I usually feed him) ) for a few days because in case the A/D
caused him diarrhea,
which, the odd time happens in cats, then he would be more apt at getting
dehydrated. So for
now that's what I'm doing. When I asked about Vit. C, she is one of the
vet's that still is
nervous of the calcium oxalate stones occuring so said to maybe start with
50mg a day. I
know it tastes awful so will be squirting that mix down quick followed by
just straight
Iam's! I bought Ester C with Bioflavinoids based on someone's
recommendation and some Thymus
as well which will all be added to his pureed diet along with Lysine.
also, tonight he ate about 15cc of baby food chicken and broth (I'm still
syringe feeding)
and is grooming himself and doesn't seem so lethargic. Here's hoping.
