Casey is home resting comfortably. First they tested him for Feline Leukemia (It was so long ago I couldn't remember if he WAS tested or not) and heartworm. I found this strange since he's an indoor cat, but the vet said he could've been bitten by a mosquito inside my apartment (possibly). Both were negative.
She did a complete exam of his throat and nose while he was under. She saw nothing! No polyp, no tumor, nada. Then she took swabs of his nose but didn't have time to check them out under the microscope for any bacteria or cancerous cells. She was swamped all day and said she would take 2 hours on Monday to look at the slides.
I know I should be happy that it's not cancer, but not knowing what's wrong is what is making me crazy.
I am SOOOOOO frustrated. And I feel so helpless. He sounds just awful. I can't help him. I don't know what to do for him.
She showed all the x-rays to another vet and he was amazed that the Zythromax he was on didn't wipe it out completely.
So he's back on Zythromax and Flagil for 10 days in the hopes that it works.
I want to cry right now. Not because of the money, although the vet bill was $374 and another $47 for the medicine. I love this boy with all my heart and soul and hope he's not suffering. I just don't know what else I can do for him.![]()
