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 just got a call from our vet concerning test results done on our 4 year old cat Fidget, who began vomiting intermittently, and losing weight, and it got worse. The results came back, and Fidget also had out of normal pancreas results. But, the vet also did other tests, and his diagnosis is Toxoplasmosis, and Fidget is an indoor cat. Has anyone ever had to deal with toxplasmosis in their cat? The vet said that is rare, and he only has eaten Iams dry cat food. We never feed him from the table, and have no idea where he could have picked this up from. sad.gif
