Re: [Felvtalk] Bogey's checkup today - bad results
Yes - it's the smear I was asking about. If you let me know what they found when they looked at the smear, it will probably say whether or not the platelets were visually confirmed to be low or whether there was blood clotting. I am thrilled Bogey liked the KFC. I had one cat, a few years ago, with cancer, and I kept her eating long after the vets felt she should have survived, by feeding her KFC. My husband and I certainly had our fill of KFC, since we had to eat it something like 3 times a week. Up here in Canada, we have Swiss Chalet, which also seems to work wonders on my babies. One day at a time, Sherri. She's eating and playing. Let's keep our fingers crossed that the Doxycycline will help.

Re: [Felvtalk] Bogey's checkup today - bad results
Sherri, half the battle is keeping her eating. As long as she is eating, you are ahead of the curve. I really don't like the low platelet count but nothing else in the bloodwork is very alarming right now. Were there clots in the sample? Did they do a slide count? See if your results have anything at the bottom about the recheck they did for the low platelets. Keep Bogey eating, as much as possible. Use things like tuna water or tuna juice from tuna cans, to keep her hungry. Get Kentucky Fried Chicken for her (without the covering!). You are doing very well for your little girl. I'm glad your vet isn't giving up, and neither should you or Bogey. I'm crossing my fingers for you that the Doxycycline helps. Frankly, though, he shouldn't have waited to get bad news. At least he is willing to try it now.

I did feel very happy that he agreed to the Doxy. Maybe the fact that the current regiment was clearly becoming ineffective made him think we needed to add something. He is going to look into Interferon for her and I am going to research that this evening as I have only seen it mentioned here and there. He isn't giving up and I am awfully glad about that because I am nowhere near ready. I don't think Bogey is ready either.

Re: [Felvtalk] Bogey's checkup today - bad results
Hi Sherri Yes, some of the results are worse (especially the platelets) but the retic count is actually up a bit. I hope that adding the Doxycycline might help. The haematocrit and red cells are down, but nowhere as low as I have seen them in cats with FeLV, so there is a lot of cushion still there. The best piece of news is that she is eating and drinking and gaining weight.
