April,
Did the vet put him on a 3 week round of doxycycline for possilbe
hemobartanella? Even if he has hemobart, it might not show up on a slide
because of the nature of the parasites (sometimes they show up, sometimes they
don't...weird). Hemobart will cause anemia (low blood count). At this point,
it would not hurt to get him on the doxy, especially since most vets will close
in the next few hours. Doxy has pulled many a cat out of dire straights.
FeLV+'s are prone to getting hemobart.
Please keep us posted and I wish Benny a quick recovery!
:)
Wendy
