Thanks Karolyn. I am going to have the housecall vet I've used come and check Levi. I'm going to ask about having a blood panel done, and whether she can do it in my house. (I don't want her taking Levi to the clinic she uses.) To everyone: I'm worried about Levi, because he's scratching frequently in the area between his head and his body, plus (which I find more worrying) he hid last night and this morning, something that's unheard of for him. I've been trying to figure out the scratching. I've noticed him doing it occasionally for about a week, but the intensity has increased as of last night. None of the others seem to be doing this, so am I right in thinking it can't be fleas? (Can cats even get fleas if they're quarantined?) The Frazier book I looked last night (Natural Cat) really didn't give me any clues.
The other think that's really bothering me, is that when he sat on my blanket on Tuesday evening, I thought I detected the faintest whiff of the odor that Caramel had before he died. I can't tell if I'm imagining it or not, but obviously I'm pretty worried about it, ie organ decay. He did come running when I rattled some 'treat' Wellness dry food on the metal tray, but didn't get stuck into it with anything near his usual gusto.
