By the way, his HCT was up from 25 (that’s
when he got sick in January) to 32. -----Original Message----- I took Uh-oh-oh to the vet yesterday
afternoon – and here’s what I found out – The good news was he was negative on
FeLV/FIV (thank god!) on ELISA – When they did in house PCV test, his HCT
was 44 which was very good. But I
also had them sent out the blood work for the total body function so that I can
find out what’s going on with him – And here’s a sort of bad news,
and I am not sure what’s going on – and I need your help to
understand it. His PCV (HCT) was much lower than
the results from the house, which is 32, but still within the normal range of
29 to 48 – But his RBC and HGB was extremely
low. RBC is 1.8 (normal range 5.92
to 9.93) and HGB was 5.2 (range 9.3 to 15.9). His WBC was normal. His MCH was high 28.2 (range 11-21) and
MCHC was high as well as 75 (range 30 to 38). There was a comment underneath says
“the sample appears hemolyzed.
Hematorit by manual method”. Which I was not sure what it
meant. His blood parasites came as
negative. Back in January, we also
did PCR test of Hematot (sorry, can’t spell, but it’s for FIA) and
came back as negative – what do you think going on? The fact that his RBC is now from 5.6
(in January) to 1.8 (yesterday) – does this mean that his is not
producing blood – what does it mean?? How come his HCT is normal? (what does HCT mean? Please help me understand what’s
going on with Uh-oh-oh (I left a message with my vet to discuss this further,
also) Hideyo & Uh-oh-oh |
