Tunа, аn 18-mоnth-оld Dоmestic Shorthаir Cat, is brought into your clinic by her owners, Mr. and Mrs. Blenck. The Blenck’s are concerned that she was incorrectly spayed by your clinic, because they think she is pregnant now. The Blenck’s report that Tuna’s abdomen has been getting larger and that she has been acting more lethargic and depressed this week. They state that Tuna has been having a difficult time walking – probably because of the pregnancy. Tuna is an indoor/outdoor cat and is up to date on her FeLV, FVRCP, and Rabies vaccinations. Examination of Tuna reveals that her temperature is 103.1°F, pulse 140 bpm, and respiratory rate is 60 bpm. Though her abdomen is enlarged, the rest of her body feels thin, with ribs, dorsal spinous processes and pelvis all easily palpable. Tuna is having difficulty breathing, especially on inspiration and she appears uncoordinated in her hind end. Abdominal palpation reveals no masses or kittens, but rather, her abdomen feels like it is full of fluid and there is a wave motion when tapped with a finger. Tuna also has pruritits and alopecia with some scabbing and crusting. The veterinarian asks the Blenck’s for consent to draw some blood and to perform radiographs. You draw blood for a CBC and Chemistry Profile and take radiographs of Tuna’s abdomen. The radiographs show that there is a large amount of fluid in Tuna’s abdomen and in her chest. The CBC machine requires you to run a control daily and Tuna’s CBC is the first one run this day.
