Hi there! I have been feeding a stray cat now for 6months and she has never gained weight. I finally scraped some money together and took her to the vet since she started hanging out at my house more and more often. We did a full panel, turns out her white blood cell count was pretty elevated. My vet said she is anemic and something about her liver, but no definitive answer. Her thyroid is fine, no parasites, no feline aids… all I know is that she probably has an infection of some sort and is anemic. She is approx 13 years old, her teeth and gums look alright and she eats well. At least 1-2 small cans of wet food (the highest grade you can buy) and some dry food (again the highest grade you can buy). She was a little dehydrated when I first took her to the vet, but I think she’s better now that I keep her inside with me. She is emaciated- I try to feed her vitamin rich foods, I’m using milk thistle to try and help her liver, and I’m giving her a low dose of Clavamox. Ideas?
Should have mentioned she doesnt have Leukemia. And she is clearly someones house cat that somehow made it on to the streets. I tried to find her “owner” but no one claimed her. She has clearly claimed me
