My Tucson had exactly the same symptoms & that's how I found out she was FELV+. Vet also did an IFA test (blood sent out to lab) & I would suggest that just to confirm diagnosis.
My vet gave Tucson a series of immuno-regulin shots & her wbc count went right back up. This happened to her twice & both times it worked great. If your vet does not know about this there is a section on main page that describes it & it is easily available to vets.

To answer some of the questions raised, I took Misty to the vet because she had stopped eating and was very lethargic. Her temperature was taken and was high so she was put onto antibiotics. She didn't improve and so a blood test was done which showed low levels of WBC and also a low protein level, the vet then suggested the ELISA test and also a urine test. The urine test showed blood and protein, cystitis I believe and the ELISA test was positive. She currently is still off her food, although she licks the jelly off of the meat and is on a course of antibiotics to help with the cystitis. Thank you all Margaret
