Plain-English summary
An 8-month-old male mixed breed domestic shorthaired cat was very tired and had stopped eating recently. It was hospitalized for two days but did not produce any urine during that time. On the second day, another cat from the same home showed similar symptoms. Neither cat had been given any medications or had access to outside areas. Unfortunately, both cats died shortly after being hospitalized.
Abstract
This 8-month-old, male, mixed breed domestic shorthaired cat had a recent history of acute apathy and anorexia. It remained under hospital care for two days, during which it did not produce any urine. On the second day of hospitalization, another cat from the same household was brought in with similar clinical signs. These cats did not have any history of recent ingestion of antibiotics or other medication. Furthermore, they did not have any street or yard access since they were kept in an apartment. Both cats died spontaneously after a brief hospitalization period.
