Hi we got a new cat a few days ago, older (10 years at least). Very thin, declawed, not sure if spayed. Found on the street, a little old man fed her for a few days before bring her in to the spca and then to us. Few symptoms, diarrhea, vommiting, very upset. Gave her Arnica 30ch in water last night. This morning she went into the vet. We did 1st panel bloods which revealed, elevated ALT levels although other liver levels were normal. She also had slightly high blood glucose level of 12mmol/L. A fecal smear revealed a tremendous amount of overgrown camplibactor. No fever this morning. Some dehydration. The intestinal bacterial overgrowth is no doubt caused by extreme anxiety and fear. She is difficult to handle. She looks emaciated. Originally I was thinking ars, but given the dehydration and liver and (blood glucose-I think this is already covered in ars),thinking lyc, phos**? Any suggestions ASAP would be great.
Thanks!!
Sorry forgot to mention she is drinking and I have goven fluids, but the urination is not at all excessive. She has eaten small amounts however that has been causing diarrhea or vommit; she has nausea
