Re: [Felvtalk] testing methods, and forms of leukemia
The bone marrow aspiration was suggested by my vet for Ana's cat ONLY to confirm the regular leukemia - NOT for the Feline Leukemia virus! I have only had one kitten, years ago, and now two adult cats that are FeLV+ - the kitten was sick all the time, and died at a very early age - Nemo started having seizures and that was the end of it, but the two adults right now are in extremely good health.

My vets never suggested the bone aspiration. Part of the reason could be cost since the vet knows I do kitty rescue and sanctuary the sick kitties.

Re: [Felvtalk] testing methods, and forms of leukemia
Bailey has a bone marrow aspirate because we couldn't find any reason for his anemia, it showed the virus was active and was destroying his new blood as fast as it was being produced and there were precancerous cells there, we could never find were the suspected cancer was and after he passed and a necropsy was done it was pancreatic cancer. We put him on prednisolone, iron, and epogen and reversed his anemia. His HCT was at 20%, went down to 18% by the time I got the epogen, went to 15% the first tow weeks while on it and then started going up. It got up to 40% and we lowered the epogen dose from 3 times a week to once a week. When he passed his HCT was at 33%, normal and he had been on the epogen for about 5 months, without it he would have died months before. -- Belinda happiness is being owned by cats ... http://BelindaSauro.com http://HostDesign4U.com ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
