Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2005Major purrs please for Pericles
This is hard to write. In the last few days Pericles, my lovely 6yo red tabby Maine Coon, has been a bit subdued and developed a bit of a pot belly. As he had a slightly below normal appetite I was suspicious and thought it might well be worms, but a dose of Drontal didn't produce any useful results so it was off to TED. James Hunt (TED)[yes, same as the '70's GP racing driver] diagnosed fluid in the abdomen and has sent off samples of that and blood to the lab. The fluid was clear, so he thinks it won't be an infection but has numerous suspects pending test results, the 3 main being: Feline Peritonitis, Liver or Kidney disease. Any experience in this area anyone? These are all potentially so serious that I'm worried sick. Peri is much too young, pampered and beloved to have this happen to him, even though I knew when I rescued him as a kitten that he wasn't up to par. Please raise all the purrs you can that it turns out to be nothing too disastrous. Results might be back tomorrow (Friday) afternoon: failing that it's a nightmare weekend of uncertainty until Monday. TIA for your positive thoughts Gordon We will purr and pray that there is nothing seriously wrong with Pericles. HOpes he feels better soon.

I haven't read the replies to your post, but I'm sure someone else already said this. Try to keep positive thoughts, and I hope you have results by now. Purrs. SignatureCheryl Many purrs for Pericles' good health. Katz, Daisy & Moxie Double strength purrs that it turns out to be nothing serious. Nanki-Poo didn't have fluid in the abdomen, but he was seriously ill shortly after I adopted him from the shelter. The doctor felt it was one of the three fatal viruses cats get, and had him tested. The tests were negative, and after a few days he began heating. He is now healthy and has gained a lot of weight. I hope the outcome for Pericles is similar.
