Hello Vets
About 6 weeks ago, I noticed one of my cats having trouble eating and seemed in pain. He was taken to the vet and we found his gums very red and teeth falling out with ease.
His weight was noticeably less than a previous reading for him.
We removed the trouble teeth and he did much better for a while.
Last week he seemed to be having trouble again, so we went back to the vet. Gums again very red and more weight loss.
We have done additional blood work, which I will post here. Many results are in Greek so I have done my best to translate on image. Felv and FIV both negative.
Based on his blood work we did an exploration ultrasound, and everything looks completely normal, they found nothing to indicate a problem. All lymph nodes normal.
We drew more blood and it was very dark, almost a black tint.
3 vets consulted on his case and non can think of what the problem is, so we are treating him blind and hoping it helps. He has lost more weight in a week and isn't eating.
Treatment includes long lasting cortisone injections and 12 days of broad spectrum antibiotics.
At this point we are being told it probably won't help and he will continue to decline. I'm hoping someone here might be able to think of a cause of his blood work that we have not thought of.
Thank you in advance
(For information, he is a 7 year old Korean short hair, fully indoor cat, exposure to any infectious diseases is non existent, weight loss - total 1.6kg -
200g in a week)
