please help v sick cat desperate

[mmagenta]

My beloved cat is fading fast. He has gone from lovely healthy rotund cat with great appetite to fragile bag of bones within a month or so. Now so weak can hardly stand. The vet is completely at a loss.

My wonderful vet has tested for toxopalsmosis / FIV / FIP leukemia all negative. all blood work has come back normal [liver blood sugar kidneys etc] He isn’t diabetic. She has x rayed and scanned and he has no tumours or blockages.

The only thing she has found is a “slightly” enlarged heart and she has prescribed him Fortekor. However this seems to have made him worse and even more listless. I suspect that she feels she must come up with some kind of answer as this has already cost me £500 [not that it matters if we can find whats wrong with him] and I think she just feels she needs to tell me something as she knows how worried I am. I don’t feel this is the problem and may just be a side effect of whatetever his root problem is.

She has also put him on an antibiotic [synulox]. Hes been hospitalised on drips for a couple of days but is now home.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be wrong with him. I feel like we are running out of time and im so desperate;-( now hes developed a v bad sneeze too which he could have picked up when hospitalised

He has always been very healthy other than having a tapeworm as a kitten. Always had v v healthy appetite. He is a 3 year old Russian blue.

Please please help. Any ideas very greatfully received.

Thank you

did you pay for test? If so, most governments require the vet to furnish clients copys of test results.
