Maybe this was a real reflection of reality. Our dogs were regularly unfolded through Prospect Park in Brooklyn, changed germs with teammates and inflated the rogue chicken bones, while our cats lived from inner lives.
Now I suspect that we may have lost signs of illness in our cats. I was worried that we were exaggerated when we got the olive tree to the vet for seemingly, maybe slightly, it is not the same. In fact, he was critically ill.
Indeed, cats are talented to cover their symptoms, which may also be different from those of dogs, I was told by experts. Arthritic dogs often develop remarkable acoustics, which are easily localized on walks, while many arthritic cats do not show obvious signs of pockets, Dr. Perry said. They could simply jump on the couch less frequently or look craankier when they handle.
“Since cats sleep so many hours a day and the owners are generally only around them for a few of these hours, it is much easier not to realize that your cat is gradually changing over time,” Dr. Perry said.
In the aftermath, it seemed likely that the olive tree had been reduced quietly for weeks.
Eventually, veterinarians concluded that its immune system destroys its red blood cells. But they could not say what had caused it or find a drug that helped. Finally, as a last resort, an Internist suggested that we consider removing the huge Olive spleen, which was probably where its red blood cells were destroyed.
I e -mail another veterinarian for a second opinion. “Splenoectomy is not the worst choice,” he wrote back, noting that it was an established treatment for people with similar situations. “We just don’t have data in Vet Med,” he added, “especially in cats.”
