Last Update on our cat. We took our cat in yesterday 23 Nov 2016 to an internal medicine specialist because as her wobbliness seemed to be getting better she began to vomit more often which was a new symptom. She had begun to not eat and drink over the past weekend so on Monday 21 Nov 2016 we took her back to her vet and she prescribed Mitrazapine to stimulate her appetite. She was able to hold down food and began eating and drinking within 45 min of taking the pill, a 1.88mg dose, we were so happy that night. So on 22 Nov we called a Emergency Pet Hospital and made an appt. with their Internal Medicine Specialist for the next day. When we arrived and he saw her, she got the full exam and it was determined it was not a Bartonella diagnosis, but something else. He diagnosed her with critical heart failure, fluid in her lungs, and a neurological spine issue, and would not yet focus on the vomiting, too far down the line from her other ailments. Money would not be an issue for us luckily, but putting her through the pain, loneliness of being in a hospital alone for the foreseeable future we could not do it. With a heavy heart but for her good we let her pass on. I will not be back on this forum to check back so there is no need to reply or write, I want to thank everyone who wrote symptoms but wish there were more of the outcomes and final diagnosis, I know it is hard but that is how we all learn to look for these symptoms sooner rather than later, goodbye.
