Hello! I know I've been gone a while, but a lot has happened since my last post. I will post a proper update with pictures and stuff in another section.
Yesterday after coming home from work,my Jazz met me at the door drenched with saliva. I realized he was excessively drooling. And i mean drooling a lot. I straight away put him in a carrier and went to this university vet hospital.It was already very late and none of normal vet clinics were open. It's an 40 min drive. We've got there and were seen by the doctor immediately. Poisoning (that's what popped into my mind straight away at first) was ruled out. Blood test were otherwise normal, except that Jazz was very dehydrated from all the drooling. The vet didnt really know what what's wrong with him. Her primary diagnose is acute gastrointestinal infection. She said he was feeling nauseous and that's why was drooling so much. I was also told to expect some diarrhea. Jazz got some fluid under his skin and meds to spot nausea and we went home.
Well, drooling hasnt stopped. It's not as dramatic as yesterday, but still quite a lot. Otherwise he seems to be fine. Eats well. Doesnt play all that much, but otherwise is normally curious and engaged with my actions.No diarrhea yet. I really don't know what to think. I'm starting to think that he was misdiagnosed.This doesnt look like a stomach bug, because he has normal stool. I'm very worried and quite angry at the vet if she really did misdiagnose, cause that hospital is very very expensive..
I was told to come back if his symptoms get worse or he becomes lethargic.. which i will obviously do.. I guess I just wanted to know if you had any experiences like this with your cats?
