Some of you already know what I'm going through with one of the new
kittens. She is small, has on-again/off-again problems with her
eyes gooping up and I now have three different ointments for her,
one with steroids. The one with steroids was prescribed this past
weekend when I had to rush her off to our old vets, VCA, and they
fluoresced her eyes to make sure she didn't have any ulceration
first. The reason for the vet rush wasn't her eyes, though; she
seemed to have a seizure. Our regular vet closes at 1pm on
Saturday, so it was either there, or emergency. Her seizure-like
symptoms started an hour or two before I took her to the vet with
shivering - I turned up the heat because it *was* a bit cold in
here. Then she displayed wierd behavior in the bathroom (trance-
like) and then hopped in the bathtub and lost control of her
bladder, though not like peeing - she stood with her back arched
like she was trying to deficate, but urine ran down her legs. I put
her in the carrier to take her to the vet and she vomitted. At the
vets office, she peed on me, then she peed on the vet. She's about
3-1/2 months old, very well litter trained, and has never peed in
the tub. Vet did xray to look at her bladder (she also had a bit of
bright red blood on her anus, but no blood in her urine). Vet
thought it looked like maybe she had diarrhea and gave me some
flagyl, and some metaclopromide for the nausea and the eye
ointment, and sent us home when she seemed to be out of the
"seizure" (3 hours later). We were to await blood test results.
Today the test results came in and I missed the call from the vet,
and am still waiting, but the message said her WBC counts are
elevated and now they want to run tests for FIP, FIV and
toxoplasmosis. Scarlett was one of 4 in her litter, and at 5 weeks,
2 of the 4 were tested for FIV/FLV and were negative, so the vet
didn't test all 4.  I planned to have my two tested again this week
when they go in for neutering (Scarlett's may be post-poned again
because of her health now). Other litter mate fine, though he was
going through the same eye problems but his haven't flared up in a
couple of weeks, and he is now almost 5 lbs, where she is just 3.2
lbs.

So, to summarize:
*3-1/2 month old female, unspayed
*chronic eye issues, without ulcers
*low weight gain
*lethargic and sleeps a lot these days, though has been plenty
playful up until now (but she still has her moments)
*stinky gas often
*meows when I pick her up, but I don't know if its pain or she
doesn't want to be picked up
*xrays didn't show anything abnormal, including stomach
*low grade fever (~103.6 on Saturday)
*maybe diarrhea but I haven't witnessed it, though I've tried
*I don't know the particulars about the bloodwork results because
they haven't called me back yet.

Since I didn't get a return call today from VCA I'm going to call
our regular vet in the morning and have them request the bloodwork
results and xrays and let me know what should be done next, but VCA
was talking about FIP and toxoplasmosis. I already know that FIP
can't be screened for, correct? It can only show exposure to the
coronavirus? The Xray would have showed fluid on the stomach or
lungs if it was so far gone to have these symptoms, right?
