Re: HELP!!! MY CAT WON"T DRINK and barely eats!!!
This vet office is soooo busy and they haven't went into details with me about all of this. I am going to go in tommorrow and make them give me more details. They did bloodwork and I think everything but the kidneys was in normal range. The kidneys was in the high at the starting point of the graph. My cats breath doesn't stink and we had a cat one time with kidney failure and she did stink and so did her breath. She also drink excessively and past alot of urine when she would go to the bathroom. I am not seeing this with this cat. She Did start eating better today still no water though. She is getting some liquid from water in tuna. She will not eat cat food still but she seems to eat tuna in water fairly well. She does lap the juice dry but she won't touch water by itself. I have been trying to mix in alittle water with wet cat food and she will lick once or twice but thats it. She is sleeping alot which she has always done. I still don't understand her balance problem unless it is her ears. They didn't do anything but stick a long q-tip in her ear and they said" Look at all that earwax and gunk in her ears" They said she had a ear infection. Only thing is I was looking at a article last night on ear mites and the medicine she gave me is for ear mites because the article gave a list of medicines to use for ear mites and that medicine was listed. Its Tresaderm. It also said not to use ear mite medicine on ear infections because it could make them worse. So I am going to ask them about that tommorrow. She will lay her face in my hand while she is sleeping and all of a sudden she will wake up and shake her head. She did walk alittle further today before the fell down but I think maybe the tuna helped her alittle. She still has to be coaxed somewhat to start eating but once she starts eating the tuna she does fairly well.Can earmites go deep into the ear and cause other problems?
I don't know if they did a urine concentration on her but I will ask them because from what I have read she doesn't sound like she has kidney failure. What could explain the high reading even though it was on the low end of the high? Thanks for information too by the way. My cat can be confusing sometimes but she really wants to live, I can tell. Like I said she stopped drinking first, then eating, then the shaking her head started and her falling over. It was all kind of space out in time between the symptoms. Thanks for any more info you might have. I just wanted to make sure We could find out her problem so she doesn't have to suffer anymore. I don't want to put her to sleep because I see she is trying to live but I don't know how much longer she will eat if she still is having all these problems. I don't want her to give up because she can't get any relief. Thanks again!!!
