Lance,
I urge you to address this now. You have a much better chance of
resolving the problem while Ember is still feeling good and eating. It
was good fortune that you had blood work done even though you had no
reason to suspect she was ill. I don't understand why your vet would
tell you to wait a month and see if it resolves itself with a felv
kitty. Why did he have you run the test if he wasn't going to do
anything if the results spelled trouble?
I'm feeling esp sensitive right now about my pushy nature. I just got
rudely told off regarding a Pit Bull puppy that is being neglected. I
almost didn't write to you with my always present opinion. Don't take
offense, but I wouldn't wait and hope she gets better on her own.

Hi Wendy,
I'm guessing that a persistent low white blood cell count leaves Ember
(or any other animal in that boat) open to infection from otherwise
harmless germs.
Please pray that I'll be guided in the right treatment of Ember to
bring her wbc levels back up... that this isn't a precursor to her
immune system failing completely, and that, in the meantime, she won't
come into contact with anything in her seclusion that could give her a
secondary illness.
I appreciate your thoughts and prayers,
Lance
