Hideyo, from the numbers it looks like his WBC has been high even since November 1. Is it possible he has a severe kidney infection and that is what is causing the high kidney values and the anemia (since kidney problems can cause anemia)?

Hi, everyone, please share your insight – my older boy kitty I rescued is experiencing severe ARF – I say this only because his blood work two weeks ago shows pretty normal value of kidney functions, ,but he starts losing weight and can’t each as much as I thought he had FIP as I recently lost of my babies to FIP – The blood work shows very very profound RF – might be what Hannibal had at the end.. today 1-Nov normal range Crea 12.5 3 0.8-2.3 BUN 167 28 15-34 phos 17.5 4 3.0-7.0 HCT 17.3 28.2 29-45 WBC 30.6 23.8 4.2-15.5 total bulirubin 0.7 0.2 0.0 - 0.4 indirect bilirubin 0.5 0.1 0-0.3 TCO2 5 19 13-25 He is on IV right now and we started on epogen this morning as well. Also, gave doxycycline as antibiotics – I am thinking using SAMe as I heard that it’ s good for anemia – please share any of your insighg – what do you think it’ s causing this severe ARF – could it be FIP? I am trying to find other cause – Also, please pray for my Rikki that he will feel better – thank you.
