I am not knowledgeable enough to say anything, best left to Amani. I can pray
for her.

Subject: [Felvtalk] Chablis - seeking advise about giving Pred/Doxy/Winstrol
with low WBC
Hi - one of my FeLV+ cats, Chablis (F, 5 yrs), has been dealing with
constipation since Jan of this year. Last week she stopped eating like she does
when she is “backed up” but 100 cc SQ fluids didn’t resolve the issue as it
normally does. She also started wheezing Sat eve. I ended up with her in the
emergency clinic on Sun and to my surprise her CBC was terrible (see below).
Radiograph revealed no constipation or obvious masses in lungs/abdomen. ER vet,
and my vet the next day, reluctant to give pred due to low WBC. Treating
dehydration and inappetance with SQ fluids and mertazapine. ER vet also gave
Convenia "just in case”. Going back on Fri to my vet for another CBC. Have been
following this group for several years and want to try Amani’s treatment
protocol, but does low WBC contraindicate giving prepnisolone and/or Winstrol?
Thanks in advance for any advise. - DebCBC (21Jul2019) NOTE: they did not
