Angus Home (Family)
Well, Angus is home. Still sleepy (partly due to the sedation he received earlier). After coming home around 3pm, he eventually ate and drank a little. The vet did some bloodwork, which shows that Angus is anemic and has low platelets. She said she sent it off to another lab so that they could look at the actual shape of his blood cells. I can only assume that we're looking for some sort of cancer. It might be something different, but I know it's a possibility.
The good news is that everything else was fairly normal - kidneys and liver are great. His glucose level was quite high, but that could be due to stress. The vet doubts that it's diabetes, because diabetic cats usually drink and drink and drink.... Angus isn't.
We're going to call tomorrow to find out what the verdict is on the other tests.
Ugh.

I'm hoping for the best for you- having a sick pet is so hard.

Poor Angus, poor vet staff, and poor Geena!
Hope Angus turns out to be okay. I have some iron pills I'll share with him.
