Anyone heard of kile??

[cclady8]

I'm not sure that is how it is spelled. Im trying to figure out more information on it. Its kile or kyle (sounds like the name Kyle) . The vet said it was very rare and had very little information on it. Does anyone know about it or what it is? What could cause it? Anything???? :shock:

Google "cat disease kile" for several references

Sorry. Got interrupted and had to go offline. From the brief time I looked at the subject, have the impression it may be connected with west nile?

I assume you are referring to chyle, as in chylothorax. If this is true, you need a new vet. Chylothorax is caused by seeping/spreading bacteria, usually via the intestinal tract but could also be from a diseased organ or a cyst in or around an organ, etc.

Chylothorax can be treated successfully if appropriate diagnostics are persued, and treatment is initiated RIGHT AWAY! Get your kitty to a new, more experienced, feline-only vet or a qualified, well-established emergency vet faciity IMMEDIATELY!
