SAFE 4/4/18 This family of senior kitties has found themselves at the Brooklyn Care Center because their owner has sadly passed away. They’re a bit shy initially and appear fairly stressed in the shelter environment, but they’ve been warming up every day and seem to be quite gentle and loving!

History: Intake 3/23-reported to have “colon problems” since January.
Records from 1/11/2018 from Mobile Veterinary Ultrasound show segmental thickening of jejunal muscularis, possibly due to early IBD vs neoplasia. There was no loss of wall layering which makes neoplasia less likely or very early in progression. Started on B12 and prednisolone.
3/25-started having diarrhea. Started on Sq LRS, cerenia, metronidazole, mirtazapine.
CBC: NSF
T4: WNL
CHEM: NSF
AXR: Subjectively fluid-filled intestinal loops, rounded cardiac silhouette and mild bronchial pattern
3/26: parvocite negative, fecal negative. Started on SQ LRS, cerenia, panacur, and B12
