Felix was sick, but is recovering well
On 7th June, Felix had his first round of breakfast at 5am normally. However, by the time of his second round breakfast at 9.30am, he appears less keen and ate only 3 pieces of dry food (normally, he ate 10). By noon time, he didn't go to the kitchen to ask for food. When given to him, he only licked twice. His ears were very hot.
Immediately, we called our family vet. Dr TN was on sick leave, but Dr TT kindly agreed to see him at 2pm. Dr TT found his breathing rate to be fast at 120/min, his body temperature was marginal at 39.3 degrees. A full blood test and ultrasound were done.
The blood test suggested that his white blood cell readings were high and so were the liver readings. The pancreas also ABnormal. Dr TT did a fine needle on the liver for lab and culture. In the meantime, I decided to let him stay in hospital, with hope to precent a major flare up.
On 8th June, update from the nurse was that his temperature was back to normal at 38 degrees and that he ate by himself. But he hadn't urinate. So I decided to have him discharged as I believe we can take care of him at home.
Since returning home, apart from being a bit tense, he ate well, slowly regained his sleep and even played with Stella at times.
Felix revisited Dr TN today (16/6) and is making good progress in his recovery. Physical examination revealed no discomfort and his blood test readings are within the normal range, though some are still higher than his "usual self".
We would like to thank Dr TN, Dr TT and Dr VM for their care, medical advise and support, without which I would not be in such relaxed mode to document this event.
As an aside, a funny video on Felix taken earlier on....
