[Felvtalk] Kiss results bad..

2012-02-02 Thread Amanda Vollaro
Kiss's results are so bad that I'm wondering if there's really anything the vet can do at this point. Blood tranfusion? T-cell? Erythropoietin for low blood cell count? Results below: FeLV Antigen (ELISA) Positive FIV Antibody Negative Result verified. Superchem Total Protein

I'm not a vet, but the HCT looks low, but I've had cats with it under 10. Has he been checked for Hemobartonella? Beth Don't Litter, Fix Your Critter! www.Furkids.org   From: Amanda Vollaro avoll...@optonline.net To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent:

That's exactly what the vet said. Just spoke to him, and his response was: better get the antibiotic to treat for them into the cat as soon as possible, rather than waiting on test results. I agreed with him. Amanda Vollaro avoll...@optonline.net - Original Message - From: Beth To:

Yes, esp. since Hemobart can be difficult to detect from what I understand. But he should turn around quickly with the antibiotic, if that's what it is... Most of my FeLV cats died from anemia, but it had nothing to do with Hemobartonella. Goo luck with your baby, Beth Don't Litter, Fix Your
