I have an almost 3 year old cat, he was a stray and saw the vet when he was found. He had a bout with ringworm and tapeworms about a year and a half ago. He was treated with no re-occurrence. He developed a cough a couple of months ago and after several tests he was diagnosed with asthma and possible pneumonia. His lung issues resolved and his breathing has improved to the point where he no longer needs an inhaler.At this point he started losing weight, a significant amount. Next the lens in his right eye completely dislocates.At the same time I start noticing an oddly shaped raised area on his back which was diagnosed as plaque. The plaque has spread at a very quickly and it appears it first ulcerated and then became necrotic. A biopsy has been sent out to a specialist in Colorado. He has an odd type of "rods" in his urine and his blood work reveals some renal problems where his BUN and creatinine are elevated but his urine protein ratio is normal. There are some eosinophils present as well. While he is eating while at the vet he was not eating with me, his weight kept dropping. They are giving him a special prescription diet now. The vet has never seen a lens dislocation in all of his years of practice, he has never seen urine results like this before and he has never seen a skin condition like this. He is stumped, two of his colleagues are stumped and the lab that did the urinalysis is stumped. He biopsied his skin and sent it to a highly regarded pathologist in Colorado (I live in NY) along with a letter detailing all of this bizarre findings. He is hoping she might have some idea of WTF is going on with him. I have two other cats who so far are fine. The vet even asked if I had any strange bacterial or fungal conditions which I have not. They have ruled out hypertropic cardiomyopathy, neoplastic lung disease, heart worm, toxoplasmosis and several other disorders. He does appear depressed, which given the circumstances may either be a symptom of the result of him being sick. The vet believes these things are all connected given the fact that they have appeared quickly over a short period of time. He has been an indoor cat since I got him but had been a stray for his first 1 1/2 years, I have had him the last year and a half. The vet has been holding him in the animal hospital so he can closely monitor him. Has anyone had experience with any of these things? What was the diagnosis? Treatment? Prognosis?
Added (1). I live in NY and it doesn't appear to be any type of allergy, bug bite or some type of topical irritant.
