Common Questions and Answers about Pancreatitis feline test

pancreatitis

Avatar f tn s neurological, but metabolic. Repeated blood test with special feline pancreatic lipase test for pancreatitis. He ran up the stairs upon returning home. He's still not jumping onto his scratching post, but will onto my lap when I am on a chair or couch. He jumps down fine too. He was already evaluated by an internist 2 weeks ago. She is the one who ran the ultrasounds, and x-rays. There was a professional radiologist report from these images.
Avatar f tn He had a full senior work up, as well as urinanalysis and the test for the pancreatitis (negative). He has been dehydrated, not eating well, nauseated and vomiting. Is the next step to do an ultrasound?
Avatar n tn His symptoms could by due to many serious illnesses such as a urinary blockage from a urinary tract infection or Feline Urologic Syndrome, a traumatic injury, pancreatitis, and many others.
Avatar m tn This sounds like a case of feline pancreatitis; an inflammatory condition of the pancreas that results in anorexia, lethargy due to abdominal pain etc. It is harder to diagnose in cats then dogs. An anorexic cat is suceptible to develpoing a secondary case of fatty liver disease and when that happens a feeding tube needs to be placed.
Avatar f tn The cost of a feline leukemia and feline Aids test combination at my clinic is $30.00, but there are literally dozens of causes of feline weight loss that have nothing to do with feline Aids. Weight loss can be caused by congenital problems that may not appear until the cat is full grown, such as heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease and more. Almost any infectious disease can cause weight loss; even a urinary tract infection or upper respiratory infection.
Avatar n tn s feline leukemia, you need to have a vet draw blood and do FELV/FIV tests on the cats, as sometimes cats do not show symptoms even though they carry or have the disease. The FELV/FIV test is basically a combination test for both feline leukemia and feline aids. If the cats test negative, then they can be vaccinated but it is wise to test them first.
Avatar m tn I have a kitten about 4 months old, she was fine yesterday but now she is throwing up clear liquid won't eat or drink. She can barely walk and when she does she falls over, hids and cries :( i dont know whats going on. Im scared she wont make it through the night. What should i do?
Avatar n tn Toxoplasmosis, Cryptococcis, Bartonella, Feline infectious peritonitis, feline immunodeficiency, and feline leukemia virus often present as anterior and posterior uveitis, chronic uveitis, retinal detachment, and secondary glaucoma, which just means that systemic diseases can result in ocular disease such as sudden onset of blindness. Your cat did test neg for feline leuk. but your cat should be tested for these other common diseases.
Avatar n tn Did you take her to the ophthalmologist today? Did your regular vet test your cat for feline leukemia and feline Aids? Unequal pupil size is called anisocoria. I answered a similar question in June, 2007 which I have copied below. Please let us know what the veterinary ophthalmologist finds! Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine lists 54 causes of feline anisocoria.

Avatar n tn The endoscopy found mild gastritis. All other test are normal.The pancreatic specialist did not mention pancreatitis at the time and only prescribed nexium and sulcrafate for the gastritis. I am 67, and never had a previous bout with pancreatitis. Moderate beer drinker. How should I be treated?
Avatar n tn Recently I trapped two strays that tested positive for feline leukemia and had to put them down. I am worried about this one have contracted it since I have two healthy indoor cats being kept separate from this stray. My questions are: is she likely to have the disease if she was vaccinated 2 years ago? Since my indoors are vaccinated, will they be less susceptible to this disease? If I get the stray to the doctor and she tests negative how long must i wait before exposing her to my other cats?
Avatar m tn Hi Cheryl, I agree with CML's suggestions. Our cat, Sammy, was diagnosed with diabetes more than 2 years ago through a blood test. When he was diagnosed, he had lost quite a lot of weight and the vet couldn't understand why Sammy was losing so much weight. I would definitely bring your cat back to your vet and ask for a blood test. You could also ask for a fructosamine test to see how much sugar is in your cat's blood. I wish you and you cat well.
Avatar m tn I am so sorry about your cat! Kidney disease can be caused by congenital disease, toxins and poisons, such as antifreeze ingestion (ethylene glycol toxicity), and infectious diseases such as feline peritonitis or feline leukemia, among other diseases, trauma to the kidneys and other causes. Your cat tested negative for feline leukemia, I believe, but there really isn't a definitive test for feline infectious peritonitis. Has your cat had frequent bouts of urinary tract infections?
Avatar f tn Ask your doctor to do a blood test for amylase & lipase levels.
Avatar n tn Should I risk a liver biopsy? Her sister was diagnosed with feline leukemia after a grueling three months of tests and finally a bone marrow biopsy, and she died a month later, this past February.
Avatar f tn To my knowledge there is no gold standard test to diagnose chronic pancreatitis. In fact, diagnosing chronic pancreatitis is challenging because testing may yield normal results, even when the disease is present. So doctors typically rely on a battery of tests to come up with the final result.
Avatar m tn Yes, like you I found out the hard way. My vet told us that every time a summer holiday rolls around that involves picnicking, BBQing etc., he can count on having several pancreatitis patients at his door. It's such a serious and sometimes fatal condition, and most people have never heard of it.
Avatar n tn But now, one of the other kittens is deficating blood. We ran a fecal test-it was negative, but we wormed with strongid anyway. The worming was about 3 days ago, and it still has this problem. What could this be? Feline Leukemia? The mother was a barn cat that wasn't friendly, but the farm dog found the kittens and decided they would be great toys..that's how I ended up with them. There has been feline leukemia on this farm before, so exposure is a possibility.
Avatar f tn I am on my 4th gastroenterologist and all of them agree that i do not have chronic pancreatitis. I have been tested for automimmune pancreatitis and I do not have it....
Avatar f tn I have seen countless drs and finally I saw one of the best pancreas drs nationwide, and he suggested it could be minimal change recurrent mild attacks. The only other test Ive had is a hida scan for the gb and it was abnormal, but not the cause of the pain. Anyone out there with insight?
Avatar f tn Thanks for the comment. I actually have to go to another gi specialist because mine doesn't do this procedure. He is sending me to a specialist he knows that is supposably very good at it. I am I don't know kind of worried because I am I guess more tired of this than anything. Ready to feel better. Have you had this procedure done?

Avatar f tn My neice and I found a kitten a year ago and when we found him he had matter in his eye's and had a cough and was also very under weight ! We took him to my mother because she has other cats outside and he took up really good with them so she keep him ! We named him Boots ! He never leaves the yard and eats alot dry cat food that my sister feeds him and all the others cats !
Avatar n tn Usually, you should be fine if August 7 test said all negative. Have a doctor follow you. Best.
Avatar n tn Hi, I wonder if anyone can offer any advice at all? I am reluctant to go to my GP, as I am currently being treated and investigated for so many other issues (diabetes, Cushing's disease to name just two!) and I'm sure he's going to think I'm a moaning hypochondriac! I had my gallbladder removed 18 months ago, following NO symptoms of gallstones (despite being full of them), BUT following an attack of acute pancreatitis.
