I took my siamese to TWO vets because of not eating/vomiting/dehydration.
Vet found the following, but no answer...
1. Enlarged Heart
2. Fluid in the chest cavity
3. Blood in Urine
4. Low red blood cell count

We tested her for EVERY known kitty disease and she came up negative.
White blood cell count is normal, no fever, regular kitty pulse.
Anyone have any suggestions??

Did he give you a solution to the anemia, like a diet or plan of action?
Did he say the enlarged heart was viral, bacterial, deformity, age, anything?
Did he drain the fluid in the chest cavity to alleviate respiratory distress?
Sorry, but I fail to understand a vet not doing anything or saying the plan of action or help for this obviously very ill cat. I suggest seeing another vet.....and take the test results with you. Something is definitely amiss. God bless.
