Poor Zazou is VERY ill

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

These are the results of the bloodtests:
- Total Bilirubine: 6,62 should be <0,2
- Gall.. : 149 should be <6
- AST (GOT): 122 should be <77
- ALT (GPT): 178 should be <109
- Gamma-GT: 31 should be < 3
- Alkalic fosfatase: 542 should be < 84

The results are terrible bad.......

I am sorry about the bloodwork results. Did the vet give you any treatment options (besides the cortisone shot) at all?
Keeping my fingers crossed that Zazou is still pretty comfortable and still eating.

Nice to read that the cortisone helps her to feel better.

I am not sure what that lab report indicates; did the vet make a diagnosis based on those figures?

I too am sorry about the bloodwork results, they look way off. How is Zazou feeling today, has she eaten anything? At least the Cortisone seems to help a little. Has the vet suggested a diet for her?

Keep her comfortable and give her water when you can - and lots of kisses.

She is even better today!! She ate as much as our other cats! We still give her tuna because she loves it so much.
There is not any diet that would be perfect to her, because she is to far gone..... ! Her liver is completely ruined, and this is
irreversible...... The cortisone she got is making her hungry, and it really works! We know that she will die very soon , so we are very happy for every single day, every single moment we get with her....

How is Zazou today?
Sending purrs and hugs.

Zazou is better, because she gets tuna every meal now!
The vet told us that every day might be her last one, so we do all we can to spoel her...!

But...there is a new problem: last monday we took her to the vet again, because she sneezes a lot.
He gave her an injection and said there wasn't more he could do for her..... .
It didn't help at all, so she is still sneezing a lot. I timed her sneezing today, and she sneezed twice per second, at least 14 times in a row....

Poor sweetheart.....
