I'm surprised the vet hasn't mentioned FIP. We've had several cats in our rescue present the same symptoms and that's typically the first guess. Poor Chestnut. The business with the rabies is bogus.

Firstly, I am sorry I am just seeing this now. Sending lots of prayers and good healing thoughts to Chestnut. A big hug for you my dear. So much to have to deal with.
Secondly, it's a good thing your vet is a ways away from me or I'd go give her a good head slap! Did they take precautions when dealing with a cat that isn't feeling well? He's up to date on his shots so there should be no issue. Isn't that why we vaccinate our pets, so there are no issues if a scratch/bite happens?
Perhaps now that they've come back with really no results it is time to seek a second opinion.

Thank you.
We do know Chestnut was very ill, with a bloated abdomen probably from internal bleeding. The anemia had him so tired he could not even lift his head at the end.
I had him in to a vet on Monday evening. When I got there, I learned they do not allow owners to remain with the pet. I brought my boy back home with me. This morning I hit the phones, asking more details before making an appointment.
