Hi,
I'm new to this forum and hoping someone has had experience with this situation.
My cat stopped eating when I changed her brand of food. She lost weight. After a trip to the vet she was diagnosed with hepatic lipidosis but they could find nothing else wrong with her. We put in a feeding tube and I've been feeding her for about 4 weeks now. She has had alot of improvement. She's much more alert and starting to eat on her own and play again.
She is still fairly lethargic although she was always a quiet cat. She is only 2 and has tested negative for FLV with the ELSIA test. We also have her mother, father and the whole rest of her litter. No one else is sick.
I took her back to the vet for blood work. Her liver has dramatically improved and the vet said the hepatic lipidosis has cleared up however now her WBC is high and her RBC is low. I don't remember the exact numbers. They think that it might be an infection or a problem with her bone marrow.
In the mean time she has become congested. I can hear it when she breathes and she coughs once in awhile. I'm calling the vet today but I was wondering if anyone has had anything similar happen.
