The Amazing Zeke

Zeke is one of our awesome kitty patients at the Animal Hospital of Rowlett.  Zeke came to us very ill in 2012.  He was limp and lifeless and had labored breathing.   Dr. Clary ran some labwork, took some x-rays, and did an echocardiogram.  Zeke was diagnosed with Histoplasmosis.

Zeke stopped eating and was not feeling good at all.  Dr. Clary placed a feeding tube to help Zeke get the necessary nutrition he needed to survive.  The thought of a feeding tube can be really scary to people, but luckily, his daddy was willing to proceed in hopes that the feeding tube would help save Zeke's life.

Now, 4 years later, Daddy is glad he made the decision to continue treatment and says that Zeke does something funny every day that brings joy to his life.  Here are some videos of Zeke!
