Re: [Felvtalk] Rescued kitten felv +

[Patricia Oliveira]

Nori did not want to eat by herself so they are syringing food. They
started another medication for nausea, although she does not vomit, they
think that may be why she does not eat.

Blood work showed changes in neutrophils (bizarre core?), veternary says it
can be from leukemia.

The result of this transfusion was not as good as the other time :(

i´ll talk to veterinary tomorrow morning again.

thank you!

Hi, Patricia,

 

I’ve asked fiv-healthscience members using RetroMad1 for FeLV cats to contact 
me if it’s okay to pass their email addresses along to you. 

 

In the meantime, this is what fiv-healthscience website manager Joel Kehler has 
written about RetroMad1:

Hi Patricia

The Stanozolol often has a side-effect of elevating liver enzymes, though I 
cannot remember if it also increased bilirubin (which would be what would cause

Stanozolol, my experience is that the liver enzymes drop right back to normal,

For now, what you have described (low temp and slightly lower heart rate) seems 
more likely to be related to the transfusion itself, rather than anything else 
going on.

It is also possible that with the additional transfusion, there is a higher 
than normal red cell destruction going on, which would be another explanation 
for the increased icterus in the blood (which will also show as an increase in 
bilirubin). Elevated bilirubin can often be caused by a reaction to a blood 
transfusion. If the high bilirubin is the indirect or the unconjugated portion, 
it is related to red cell break down. The direct bilirubin (conjugated portion) 
is related to liver function. The lab results are usually broken down to Total 
bilirubin and Direct bilirubin. The indirect portion is obtained by subtracting 
the direct amount from the total amount.

I myself went through the pressure of the vets wanting me to discontinue the 
Stanozolol because of abnormal liver enzymes. My logic was that there was 
nothing else. If I discontinued the Stanozolol, my cat would die, period. I 
continued and found that in the end, the liver enzymes normalized on their own, 
even though I had Zander on almost continuous Stanozolol for close to two years.

I know that you know that you are only temporarily helping Nori with blood 
transfusions, and the virus is still attacking cells, etc. In my opinion – and 
mine alone – my experience and research leads me to the conclusion that the 
combination of Doxycycline/Prednisone/Stanozolol worked to not only boost the 
red cell production, but I believe that the Doxycyline assisted in keeping the 
viruses from properly reproducing.

However, anticipate that when the vet gets back the second set of blood work, 
she may well try to tell you to discontinue the Stanozolol.

Hi, Amani!

Nori got another transfusion last night, hematocrit was 11.9 before it.

Today morning, i talk to the hospital's veterinarian, she said hematocrit went 
to 29 and Nori was fine, all normal parameters and eating by herself again.

But plasma was intensely icteric. I think this means red cells being destroyed, 
isn't it?

About one hour ago, veterinarian said Nori was with low temperature and heart 
rate slightly lower than normal. She was waiting the new blood work. In the 
morning, it was done only hematocrit, not complete blood work.

i am worried again.

Veterinary wants to increase prednisolone to immunosuppressive dose and add 
erythropoietin. She thinks it is immune-mediated anemia and not mycoplasma.

Nori is receiving  1,2 mg prednisolone, twice a day. She weighs only 1 kg.

We did x-ray today too. No visible tumor but we found a possible cardiopathy 
("Increased globular-looking heart silhouette").

Patricia,

 

Has Nori been tested for mycoplasma? That can cause a sometimes fatal anemia 
and is treated (usually) with doxycycline.

 

http://veterinarymedicine.dvm360.com/help-clients-stay-optimistic-when-felv-results-are-positive

 

Also, some members of the FIV-Healthscience discussion group are having very 
good luck with the broad antiviral RetroMad1 (RM1), from Malaysia, for their 
FeLV cats.  If you want a few contacts to discuss this drug with, let me know 
and I’ll pass them along.

 

 

Best regards,
