Lance it is great to hear from you. I realized that you were MIA a
while ago and was hoping that Ember was ok.
I've not had experience with the pupil anomaly but MC's advise about
a vet check sounds right since her wbc
was low. She might be fighting an infection.
Also, Laurie's travel advice is right on. Keep her warm and let her
know that you are right with her. Putting her back on DMG will
hopefully build up her immunity before the trip.
We'll be thinking of the two of you ...hoping it is a good move and
not stressful for either of you. Keep us posted!

Hello List,
It's been a long time since I've posted anything, and I must admit
that I haven't been keeping up with posts for quite awhile. Some of
you may remember that I have an FeLV+ named Ember. She's still with
me, though I have noticed something different lately, and I have
another question about transporting her.
In the last week or so, I've noted that Ember's pupils are
sometimes not the same size. I did a search for anisocoria and
found nothing in the archives. Has anyone seen this occur in their
cats? It seems to be similar to how headaches are in people...
could be just normal stuff all the way up to being a really serious
issue. The articles seem to indicate that this can happen with
viral infections like FeLV, but other than low wbc, there aren't
any symptoms. It doesn't really make sense.
Ember's last CBC had an especially low white blood cell count... I
think it was 4.2. She's been on interferon ever since testing
positive in 2006, and while I'd taken her off DMG, she's going back
on it as soon as I get my shipment.
Also, it looks like I'm going to be moving back to Madison,
Wisconsin. I'm trying to figure out the best way to get Ember to
our new home. I'm willing to pay to fly the both of us up (with her
being in the cabin with me), but I'm wondering if anyone has any
other ideas or tips they'd be willing to share. I know that
transport is frequently done by so many of you, which is why I ask
this here.
My best to all of you and your cats,
Lance
