My 13-year-old cat suddenly started vomitting (over 20 times in 24 hours). The vet ran blood tests and found that the enzymes related to pancreas function are abnormal. Her white blood cell count is also high. They think that she has pancreat*itis but there is one result that is not consistent with the diagnosis. The enzyme count related to muscles came back at 5,000 (and should be less than 500). This result is seen in cases of severe bodily trauma. It means that her muscles are breaking down. The vet is not sure what it means since she has not been injured. I agreed to IV fluids and antibiotics but I do not want her to suffer. Any ideas on the unusual results would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have no idea what might be happening with your kitty. Have you tried talking to another vet, to get a 2nd opinion? Maybe you could at least call one and tell him the test results and see if he has any advice or info. to add.

Hope the poor kitty gets better soon.
