Hx: Surrendered due to behavior. Pt was noted vomiting on 12/29/17 and was moved into Medical. Pt was exposed to a cat with panleukopenia that day; panleukopenia titer was checked and was not found to be protective.
Pt has vomited daily since then – yellow liquid +/- food. CBC/chem/T4 showed signs of hemoconcentration (elevated Hct, elevated Na) and little else.
S/O: Alert in kennel, meows at me.
No app this AM. Ate tuna this afternoon – then vomited again.
No nasal or ocular discharge.
A:
1. Possibly exposed to panleukopenia – R/O current clinical signs are related to this – this seems unlikely because pt was vomiting from the very day of exposure
2. Hx vomiting, poor appetite – R/O IBD vs. food sensitivity vs. pancreatitis vs. other
P:
1. Start d/d or other limited ingredient diet, stop feeding tuna
2. Give 200 ml SQ LRS SID x5 days
3. Famotidine 0.4 ml SQ SID x5 days
4. Sucralfate 1/2 tab in slurry BID prior to meals
5. Recommend abd ultrasound
