My pet has the following symptoms:
Decreased Energy, Decreased Thirst
Hello my cat (10y. siamese) never drinked enough water, so once a day I feed her wet food mixed with water. We visited the vet, which said she looks dehydrated and advised to increase water intake and performed blood and urine tests which he finds ok. However, I see increased sodium and after I asked about it he said it is mild hypernatremia, so it is ok. What do you think? Could it be due to dehydration and insufficient water intake or do you think we should perform further tests and what exactly?Thank you very much in advance.Here are results:Biochemical analysis:Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) 24,09 mg/dl (19-32)Calcium ionized 1,27 mmol/l (1,10-1,30)Calcium total 10,9 mg/dl (9,40-11,60)G-GT 0,0 IU/L (0-9)Creatinine 1,61 mg/dl (0,90-2)SGOT-AST 44 IU/L (44-82)Sodium 181 mmol/l (140-160)Potassium 3,7 mmol/l (3,50-5,50)Urine analysis:Specific Gravity : 1027pH : 6.0Protein : NoHemoglobin : +++Blood analysis:HCT Hematocrit 32,6 % (30-45)RBC Red blood cell count 6,48 x10^6/μL (5-10)HGB Hemoglobin 11,0 g/dL (9-15,10)MCV Mean corpurscular Volume 50 fl (41-58)MCH Mean corpurscular Hemoglobin 17,0 pg (12-20)MCHC Mean corpuscular Hgb concentration 33,8 g/dL (29-37,50)WBC White blood cell count 5,85 x10^3/μL (5,50-19,50)NE Neutrophils count 3,67 x10^3/μL (2,50-12,50)NE Neutrophils 62,8 % (35-78)LY Lymphocytes count 1,28 x10^3/μL (0,40-6,80)LY Lymphocytes 21,9 % (20-55)MO Monocytes count 0,21 x10^3/μL (0,15-1,70)MO Monocytes 3,7 % (1-4)EO Eosinophils count 0,67 x10^3/μLEO Eosinophils 11,5 % (2-12)BA Baseophils count 0,00 x10^3/μL (0-0,10)BA Baseophils 0 %PLT Platelet 376 x10^3/μL (175-600)MPV Mean Platelet Volume 11,9 fl (7,60-10,80)Hormones:Τ4 total 2,19 μg/dl (0,60-5)Free T4 1,26 ng/dl (0,60-2,60)TSH 0,11 ng/ml (0,30-5)
