摘要

A 14-year-old spayed lemale Persian cat was referred for evaluation of lethargy, anorexia, and vomiting of 3 days' duration. The cat had a history of a chronic mild increase in serum aspartate aminotransferase activity. On physical examination, the cat was cachectic (body condition score, 1/5). A CBC revealed mild leukocytosis (28.4 X 10~9 leukocytes/L; reference range, 5.5 X 10" leukocytes/L to 19.5 X 10~9 leukocytes/L) characterized by moderate neutrophilia (27.2 X 10~9 neutrophils/1.; reference range, 2.5 X 10" neutrophils/L to 12.5 X 10~9 neutrophils/L) and mild lymphopenia (0.7 X 10~9 lymphocytes/L; reference range, 1.5 X 109 lymphocytes/L to 7.0 X 10~9 lymphocytes/L). Abnormalities detected on serum biochemical analysis included mild hyperglycemia (12.9 mmol/L; reference range, 3.9 to 8.0 mmol/L), a slightly high increase in serum creatinine concentration (191 pmol/L; reference range, 50 to 177 pmol/L), mild hypokalemia (3.4 mmol/L; reference range, 3.7 to 5.8 mmol/L), and mild hypochloridemia (102 mmol/L; reference range, 109 to 130 mmol/L). Radiographs of the abdomen were obtained (Figure 1).
