Death
Called back, cat had passed. Was a male outdoor cat, initially presented on 5/4/10 with lethargy and hyperthermia of 105F. At 1'st DVM thought is was Rocky Mountain Spotted Tick Fever as the owner's dog was positive for it in March and was treated then. Serum was drawn and sent to the lab; cat was placed on Doxycycline pending the test results. When cat same in on 5/7, he was placed on a heating pad and under a heat lamp. The DVM was not in the clinic and by the time he came in 1 hr later the cat's temp was 94.2. They gave SQ fluids and it continued to decline until it dies at 2:40pm (temp 91.5F at 1pm). In talking in more detail with the owner he indicated he had sprayed 2 ponds including one pond 2 weeks prior with a copper algaecide product. The owner had sprayed right around the edges of the pond as well as in the pond. When the cat re-presented on 5/7, the DVM called the lab and they had some serum left so copper levels were requested. The copper levels came back high.
