Why is my 8-month kitten vomiting, having diarrhea, and high blood sugar?

Question

My 8month old kitten has been suffering from vomitting and diahrrea. He was given ant vomiting and anti-inflammotry injections and he seems to recuperat for a while. Blood test indicated normal levels of Feline specific pancreatic lipase but has highly elevated Vitamin B12 (ECLIA) (1688pmol/I) and high glucose level (15.7). Kidney and liver readings are all normal but has slightly high Basophils (absolute) (150). What could this e indicative of please? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 8 months and 9 days old | 9 lbs

I am not aware of any disease that would cause an elevated B12 so I wouldn’t be too concerned with this result if Milo is on a commercial cat food. A slightly high glucose can be due to stress, and basophils can increase with parasites but also with any other cause of inflammation. Vomiting and diarrhea can be due to many different diseases: inflammatory bowel disease, food sensitivities, and parasites are a few.
