Assessment
1) Dull mentation, ataxia- given patient’s age and being an outdoor cat (stray) top differentials would be infectious (toxoplasmosis vs FIV/FelV vs panleukopenia vs FIP) vs trauma vs congenital structural disease. Metabolic causes (electrolyte disturbance, hypoglycemia, liver/renal disease) is possible, but considered less likely. Less likely differentials include neoplasia, inflammatory meningitis.

Prognosis: fair to guarded

Fluorescin stain- negative OU
CBC/Chem performed- unremarkable (Hct 27, though kittens normally have a lower hematocrit than adults)
Unable to perform parvo test as no feces
