Well they released her today. Not much drop on the TBIL. She is less yellow. She is still very wobbly but not as bad as when I took her in. Is disoriented. Her BUN today was below normal at 14. Her ALT had dropped from 237 to 194 with the normal range shown below. She ate pretty good when I got her home. Not drinking anything so I am just giving her an eyedropper of water every half hour or so.
I know she needs to eat to keep this elimination thing going. Should I be giving her food every hour? At least a couple of bites in a syringe? Is there anything else I need to do for her. I have her safely away in a small bathroom to protect her. The doctor told me to get her back on the Winstrol but I am going to wait a day or so. He gave her a shot of pred before I got there so told me not to give her that pill. Wish us luck!

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.
