Hello, our elderly cat had a blood test yesterday, results as below. She is at least 17 and vanishing before our eyes. Yesterday the vet was sure it was her thyroid and if got under control all would be well so we agreed to the test. We are very conscious of her suffering as when our previous cat was PTS we knew we had taken too long to make the right decision. The vet called my husband and said she may be in pain and needs more tests. I do not want her to suffer and am not sure of the right thing to do, any advice would be gratefully received.
Lab Results
Urea 14.7 (5.7-12.9) HIGH
Creat 195 (71-212)
Amylase >2500 (500-1500) HIGH
MCV 37 (41-58) LOW
Needs urine sample for SG as creatinine 195 to differentiate azotaemia/pre-renal
Blood pressure would be useful
Hyperthyroid still likely, needs free T4
Needs a specfPLI which might confirm pancreatitis.
Needs blood smear to check MCV
If vomiting is a daily issue then prevomax injection (nausea/visceral analgesia) and follow up with 1/4 cerenia 16mg tab once daily as ongoing until FT4 comes back.
Vit B injection if available. Will look into oral supplements (maybe Kaminox?)
