Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2005Back from the vet
Willow needed some blood drawn and was unable to have any taken yesterday or last week due to "feline noncompliance". Can't say I blame her. She got sedated today and some blood was drawn. She got a buzz cut on her neck where they needed an artery. Anyways, the results should be ready by tomorrow and hopefully all will be well. She hasn't thrown up in over 24 hours, but we will be doing trial diets to find some food that she isn't allergic to. Please keep up in mind:( I want my kitty to be okay. -- M~Elizabeth To Thine Own Self be True Many good wishes and purrs for Willow to be feeling better soon and for you to find out the cause of her allergies.

Her blood tests came back completely normal :) The vet mentioned an elevated blood cell or something or other that indicated allergies, which she had mentioned earlier. So now we pick up our food...we are trying Hill's z/d. The protien is split up, so it isn't recognized in digestion. Cool, huh? thank you all for your support and purrs!!:) > Purrs must work.

Perhaps an elevated percentage of eosinophils, or an increased total eosinophil count? That indeed can be due to allergies, but also can be due to parasites. > > Purrs must work.

What parasite could she have gotten? I've noticed what look like worms on Rhonda, who has NEVER been outside since she was adopted. One vet speculated that indoor cats may get worms from mice. I haven't seen any evidence of mice, but anything is possible. For the record, I do think Rhonda has mousing instincts. In the kitchen one day, I dropped a roughly mouse-shaped object with a tail, and she promptly attacked it, even though it bit her back several times. Mightily batting it with her paws, the jalapeno eventually escaped under the refrigerator, presumably to die there. > > > > Purrs must work.

Do they look like little grains of rice? If so, cats get them from eating fleas. Fleas can get into your house on *you*! Hugs, CatNipped Purrs coming that Willow's test results will be normal and that you can find a diet she can tolerate without vomiting!
