Amani, I noticed the glucose right away. I had a diabetic dog that required insulin twice a day and so that number stuck out. I believe these tests were before the IV. I didn’t look at the bag closely that they were giving her but I think it was Dextrose. I will ask him about that tomorrow. With this jaundice…is the fact that it really hasn’t gotten any better an indicator that she isn’t any better? Or does that take a while to return to normal? I will also ask him about the potassium. Is that the K number?
She had an interest in a can of salmon that I opened on Saturday. So I sat aside a little for her and fed it to her bits at a time for a couple of days before this all happened. I told the vet about it. She never had salmon before. He didn’t think that was anything. The doxy clearly made a huge difference. Around the house here, she just came alive after the first week of being on it. That tip, and the doc finally agreeing to prescribe it…saved her life I believe. Thank you so much. I don’t think they are giving her one other than that bag of fluid. He really didn’t want to do anything and I actually begged him to hospitalize her and give her a chance. I am sure he thought her blood tests would show the very worst. Thanks for the feedback on these test results Amani. I feel a little hopeful tonight. She is never very comfortable at the Vet’s office. She is looking for a way to escape normally or someplace to hide. Once she gets home she is fine. She hates her cage. But when I sat her on the floor to let her try to walk a little she headed straight for it. I think she would like to come home.

I have seen Total Billirubins (TBili) in the thousands and the babies/humans and animals survived. The liver enzymes are barely budged. They are wee bit up but again, I have seen them in the thousands with no effect on the cats. There may have been a gallbladder blockage or something like that, (though I don’t know if cats get these). This may have been washed out by the fluids she is getting. Your explanation regarding adding the Doxycycline explains everything. What I have repeatedly said in this forum is that you need the combination of Winstrol to up the cell production and Doxycycline to retard the reproduction of the viruses. You can see the difference in the results once the Doxycycline was added at the end of October. I am hoping that Bogey is out of the woods now. I don’t think that either the Doxy or the Winstrol are the culprit here. The Winstrol is likely getting the liver enzymes to increase a bit but only a very small bit. The ALT and GGT are the only ones a bit elevated, but again, I have seen these in the thousands – especially the ALT. I do notice however that her potassium is a bit low (I hope they were giving her some potassium in the fluids) and her glucose is a bit high. Did they give her dextrose?

Couldn’t stand on her own. Very confused. Dr told me once a cat goes yellow like that they don’t normally survive. The tech that was in there with me today said she couldn’t believe the test results weren’t worse than the were. Said the TBIL was the bad thing. I haven’t looked it up yet. We added Doxy on 10/24. Two weeks on and then a month off. So she was in to her second round of it. No other changes. Feeding her anything and everything she would eat. The doc didn’t want to see her again until after the second round of Doxy. We were just about done with it. I have bounced a lot of email here too. Might be copying and pasting from Excel that is making the emails run big. Anyway…here ya go.
