It's been a pretty traumatic day for us kittehs! (
Jasper was transferred to Strathfield Animal Hospital these days for further tests and to see a specialist. We raced him up there this arvo - just in time to catch the vet just before the end of the week.
So far there isn't a definitive answer about what's wrong with him, but he does have non-regenerative anaemia - which is not a good sign.
Vet says it's likely either Glomerulonephritis which is a yucky dilemma with his kidneys but treatable or it could be Amyloidosis which is a heriditary condition and not treatable. It could also be a form of leukaemia.
This afternoon he had a blood transfusion and an ultrasound to get a very good look at his kidneys. He'll possibly have a bone marrow test and a kidney biopsy on Monday.
We'll know a lot more in a few days or so. For now.. cross your fingers and paws for us!!
