June started as a fairly hectic month for me, as the helper was on home leave from 28th May to 18th June. Working from a 4am to 11pm for 22 consecutive days, really took its toll on me. I was both mentally and physically exhausted. It sure was a relief when the helper return in good condition and on time! Thank God!
I had learnt a lot about my cats, their habits, their diet. Above all, a better understanding of the helper's job - its not suitable for me! Haha....
During a routine vet revisit on 11th June Felix's ALT rose to 154 from 74 the previous month. Other blood test readings were normal. So he was put under observation. On 19th June, he started his 30 days course of Marbofloxicin. Since then he turned fussy with his meals, but still manage to finish them.
On 24th June, he refused to eat can food, so we took him to the vet and found that both his ALT and NEU were both above normal. He was admitted to hospital and a fine needle was performed on his liver with hope that via culture, we will be able to give him the most appropriate medication. We are now earnestly waiting for the culture report.
Luckily, he was able to put on drips throughout his 5 days hospital stay. I must also admit that its lucky that his incident happened after the helper return, or else, I can't imagine what a mess daily routine would be like for me.
Felix, get well soon!
