Need Help! A vets second opinion. Anyone who has an animal with issues?


So I adopted a cat from a foster home this past January. The cat (Charlie) was a little run down and had diarrhea, but I was assured the cat was healthy and was just a little stressed out from the drive to and from the store.

1 week later, his diarrhea has not cleared so I brought him to the vet and she prescribed a series of meds, she believed it was a parasite. 2 weeks of meds still no changes. So we went on a new series of meds. She kept saying it was because he was from a cattery. During all this we tried the yogurt, boiled chicken and rice, enzymes, pumpkin, etc Then after, still no changes. My vet wanted to continue on more and more and more meds so I went to another vet.

Vet 2: She prescribed the Charlie go on Hill鈥檚 Diet w/d. The poo cleared a little but far from normal. So I we accepted that and thought well this is what it is and I am gonna try to make the best of it. With his food we were doing a little bit of Imodium and children鈥檚 benadryl. Meanwhile, continuing with tests.

End of March: Charlie was struggling in the litter box, and I was in there trying to calm him down. All of the sudden his butt fell out of his hole. I freaked out and called my vet she said it was ok as long as it went back in- and it did 15 mins later. The next day it fell out again. He had an 鈥渁nal prolapse鈥?so later that night we had to put him in emergency surgery. 鈥揑ntroducing Vet #3. She gained an immediate interest in Charlie mostly because of his size and wonderful demeanor. He is just about 4 lbs. and almost 2 years old. And we tried yet more tests.

Ok fast forward 5-6 weeks, Anus is healthy and looking good but still random poo all over the house, He uses the litter box when he can. But sometimes he鈥檒l be sitting there or sleeping and fart and poo will come out.

Here is where I am and I don鈥檛 know what to do!!??
After tests and tests and more tests鈥攏o one can figure out what is wrong with this cat! One of the tests revealed his pancreas is functioning at (-0.08). So he was prescribed 鈥淧ancrezyme鈥? He has been on this for 11 days, but still very loose stool. One thing my vet said that was really weird to her was, normally when an animal has pancreitous they will have LOW B-12 and HIGH Folate. But his Folate was Very Low, almost non existent. So to aid in the Pancrezyme medication I am giving him a B supplement.

Does anyone out there know of this? Has anyone had or heard of issues in a cat or dog that I can bring to Vet鈥檚 attention? I am at such a loss, and I really want to give this cat some sort of quality of life. Please help.

i think your cat has something similar to what my dog had(but not this severe,my dog lived 11yrs died from cancer)
my dog had exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.
it is inherited and there is no "cure" except to give pancreatic enzymes to the animal for the rest of her/his whole life and a special diet:bland food, watch any treats from anyone(with dogs)
low fat,highly digestible diet is recommended.low fibre.
the meds for dogs or humans is called Viokase,im not sure if this one is OK for cats?I know cats are quite different:your cat will need several small meals a day.my dog ate 2 meals per day and i had to sprinkle the enzymes on his food.

Pancreatitis? Cancer? Idk hope your kitty gets better soon

Your cat could be suffering from a maldigestive disorder. A high protein/low fiber diet and B12 injections may help. The most common symptoms are diarrhea and weight loss.

Folate deficiency can cause megaloblastic anemia in cats. If this is the case, a high protein diet may not be the answer.

Because this cat was in such poor shape, the deficiency could have been going on for quite some time and may take even more time to work itself out.

Best wishes and good luck!
