Thanks for your email. My vet did 3 sets of blood work in the last two
weeks. Mylo has a high white blood cell count (38) a low red blood cell
count (4); he has FeLV and anemia. The vet didn't say what the underlying
sickness could be. He just said that Mylo tested positive for FeLV and there
is nothing we can do. I am currently trying to see another vet on Mylo's
condition. I don't know what's causing Mylo's diarrhea but he has had it for
weeks now. He is taking flagyl but it isn't helping. I left a message for
my new vet to call me tomorrow so I hope to get some more info.

Chris,
Sorry you are having these problems, my first concerns are your vet,
what did he do to find out what is wrong with your Mylo?? If nothing then
if I were you I'd run, not walk to a different vet!!! What did your vet
say is wrong with Mylo other than being positive?? FeLV is a virus that
compromises the immune system which in turn allows other illnesses to take
hold and flourish, it in itself is not what makes cats sick, the other
illnesses that can take hold are. Did your vet even test for anything, do
any blood work, give you anything for the diarrhea, find out whats causing
the diarrhea??
