[Felvtalk] Trudi (was: PCR test reliability)
I have some good news: my two little ones, Ginny and Babette, are negatives and well. Ginny has been vaccinated two times already (she is two y.o.) and Babette is only 6 months and we have to wait after she recover from her operation to vaccine her. My dear Trudi is now taking: - Baytril for any infection - Orozyme for stomatitis - Ribes pet (vitamin E) My vet also gave me Retopix (Aldemidrol) spot on to control dermatitis, but when i put it on Trudi, she starts licking herself and her hair away and to me it seems worse. I don't understand! In these days, after taking Baytril, it seemed a bit better. In the places where she had lesions now she has crusts. But with this drops she becomes obsessed and bite and licks herself. Do you have any experience of something similar? Stefania Passa a Yahoo! Mail.

Re: [Felvtalk] Trudi (was: PCR test reliability)
That is great news ! I had not heard about Orozyme for stomatitis. How is it giving? Will you tell me about it and how it is working?

Re: [Felvtalk] Trudi (was: PCR test reliability)
I wonder if maybe the Retopix tingles or stings a little or maybe feels unexpectedly cool or warm on the skin. Or maybe since the lesions seem to be healing, Trudi is feeling itchy and the medicine makes it worse? Glad you got good news about your other two girls!

Re: [Felvtalk] Elevated liver enzymes
I know our Gray Kitty's liver enzymes went up using some of the herbal meds. Once we backed off from some of them, they stabilized. We do blood work every 2 weeks to monitor all levels. Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2009 10:26:18 -0500 From: fs...@roadrunner.com To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: [Felvtalk] Elevated liver enzymes Orlando, my 10 year old FeLV+ began urinating on the bathroom rug just over a week ago. I figured out who was doing it on Saturday and got him in to the vet on Monday. They tested his urine and blood and the vet called me today with the results. She said his liver enzymes are elevated and his white cell levels are high. She is going to put him on an antibiotic and re-do the tests in two weeks. (When I asked the name of the anti-biotic she side stepped the question and just said is is a pill wrapped in foil. I am currently looking for another vet because there is only one vet in this practice that I fully trust and it is very hard to get to see him.) Anyway, can anyone tell me what would make his liver enzymes elevated? The advise I have gotten on this list has proved to be better then the advise from this particular vet in the past, so I would very much appreciate any input. ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _ Windows Live™: Keep your life in sync. http://windowslive.com/explore?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_t1_allup_explore_022009 ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
Re: [Felvtalk] Elevated liver enzymes
Hey, I wrote a fairly long reply on why liver enzymes may be elevated. Unfortunatley, my cat decided to hit the escape button while rolling over and I lost the whole thing. Anyway, here's the long and short of it. 1. The symptoms you are describing are common in urinary tract infections or crystal formation. It is likely that Orlando has a urinary tract infection for which the antibiotics were prescribed. Some antibiotics are sensitive to light and need to be wrapped in foil to protect it from light. 2. An elevated white blood cell count is indicative of either an infection (which would be consistent with a urinary tract infection) or some type of lymphoma or leukemia (less likely given the symptoms) This can usually be differentiated by looking and the types and ratios of which white blood cells are elevated. Additionally, an elevated WBC (white blood cell) count is in many respects good in that it suggests that his bone marrow is not severely suppressed by felv. It would help to know if his RBC (red blood cell) count is normal. 3. Elevated liver enzymes are very non specific. Many things can cause it. Either a primary liver process like a hepatic lipidosis, cirrhosis, hepatitis, etc. Or other diseases and meds can cause it - common things are drugs/medications (the liver is the front line guy in recognizing and metabolizing meds/drugs/toxins), cancers, renal failure, pancreatitis. In general there are a wide range of things that can cause elevated liver enzymes and depending on which ones are elevated, by how much and in comparison to the others, you can begin to get a feel for what may be the underlying cause. My guess is that there is probably a relationship between the urinary tract infection and the elevated liver enzymes. There may be, however, something more serious going on. My personal recommendation would be to treat the urinary tract infection and consult a good veterinarian who is willing to discuss the meaning of the lab values. I could likely give you some insight, but I do not know the details of the lab results and this could be potentially be somewhat complicated. Unless the values are very elevated and concerning, I would wait until the urinary tract infection has resolved and retest the liver panel as these values may also come down. If not, I would look further for a cause. Hope this helps. Good luck.
