Blizz is still at the vet. he is now awake, and off the iv, we've ruled out FIP, Liver failure, Pancreatitis, and most cancer. now leaning towards either a rare disease, specific to angoras, or something genetic.
He drank a little, ate a few bites of kibble, didn't touch the wet though.
He threw a fever late last night, and they added antibiotics, and as of 5:30 eastern, the fever has broken.
We believe, if we can get him to eat....AND not throw up, he may be able to beat whatever this is. They are sending blood to a lab in dc, for analysys.
Thank you for your purrs, POTP WORKS WONDERS!!!

a very grateful daddy

Blizz's daddy! I am going to continue to sprinkle my special blend of angel dust on him and whisper in his ear how much we all love him. Cats get fevers of unknown origins. We've seen this now on Catster many, many times. It's scary and it's definitely very serious. But we've seen a ton of our friends here beat it and so will he!

Purring for you always, Blizz. You're a fighter. I'm so sorry to hear about all the horrible sickness you've been fighting.
When I wasn't eating at the hospital in November my vet made me a slurry that was 90% KMR and 10% recovery diet wet food and it finally made me eat. Maybe that would appeal to you.
We're all cheerin' for ya! Thanks for keeping us updated.

Did they do an ultrasound around the tummy? We didn't know what was wrong with me until they did that. We found out immediately what the problem was and fixed it right up and I've been improving since. We're still sending you purrs.

Oh no Blizzard! I'll be purring and purring nonstop for you. All those things you ruled out are very scary, so thank god you don't have those at least. Wouldn't you know it'd be something unusual and unique. My mom and I send love, strength, hope and luck to your dad.

Blizzards Daddy and Mr. Blizzard,
Many years ago I got a sudden illness. It was diagnosed as something cats rarely get here....my vet had never seen it before in a cat. the only reason she tested for it was because I had all the symptoms, which sound like some of yours. I, Mr. Blizzard, like you, are a Turkish Angora.
I was treated with what I tihnk was flagyl-not sure why-and also the IV. I was fed babyfood, which I did begin to enjoy, and mommy got me over the not eating thing by...tabbies would love this....bringing me fresh cooked trout.
Mommy will try to find out what it was I had...she doesn't remember. I had 'weird' stuff that mommy didn't really put togther with it but then made sense much later-I had a recurrent hot spot for years that was hard to get rid of...finally did....and also I had weird dark stuff on my claws...still do....a type of fungus....
This thing I had...not seen in cats-sometimes in dogs and more in dairy animals. Not sure if that helps at all.

PS-I was ok in a weeks time, also went home, and aside form my age related stuff, didn't get it again.

We are all purring up a storm for you here, and mommy is lighting her 'Blizzard Candle' today!
