2 of my guys (felv -) have tested positive for bartonella and were put on
antibiotics. They really did no good. They have had most of their teeth
removed. I was told it was very common, but didn't always result in symptoms.

Evidently there are different types of bartonella. The bartonella my cats
tested positive for was NOT hemobartonella, but I don't know what 'type' of
bartonella it was. It caused inflammation/problems with their gums.

Hi Amy,
Yes, many of us here have heard of hemobartonella, a blood parasite. It is
very hard to diagnose, because one minute it will show up on a slide under the
microscope, and the next minute, it won't. So anytime any of the kitties here
are anemic, we recommend the 21 day course of doxy

Just to clarify, my vet said Bartonella and Hemobart

check the archives, because it HAS been discussed--hemobart is one of those
things that seems to really be regional. one of my vets says that in the
past five years, a much higher than 50 percentage of cats in this area are
testing positive. are the tests just done more often? are they better

hi tonya, curious, just yesterday I was looking into this as well. Kurt,
my elder (10 yo), is again suffering from swollen glands, lack of
appetite, and a general bad condition. the blood test showed slight
anemia, and hemobartonella, but that does not explain the swollen
glands, and I tend to
Hey Macarena,
I've been searching the internet, and evidently it's relatively new that they've been associating the bartonella with diseases in cats. There's not a lot of information. Mostly what I've read said they've found that treating the bartonella has helped with chronic eye conditions
