During a casual visit, we found that Fat-robin has lost much weight.Worried, we brought him to the vet.
The visit to the clinic was depressive.
He was pale and weak, and as we were not able to give detailed information about his daily life, the vet was not able to make a diagnosis.
It could be anything, including cancer.
The vet told us 2 options,
to treat him, which will be very expensive, or put him to sleep.
she described his lethargy as like someone that hasnt slept for days,
given his condition, he most likely needed a blood transfusion.
even then, a blood transfusion is just the start of treatment, a mean to buy time.
she then did a simple blood test for him to analyse his blood count.
Fat-robin was then given medication and sent home to rest.
The vet called that night to inform us of his results.
his Red Blood Cell was only 8%.
anything below a 2 digit figure, she wouldn't recommend treatment as he would probably die.
she suspected tick fever, but nothing could be confirmed.
Clinic he is being treated at:
JAMES TAN veterinary centre pte ltd
230 Whitley Road, Singapore 297823
