This is a reply to all the messages. The blood was sent to the lab, not
checked in-office, and was double-checked--came up positive twice. So
there's not much chance it was a false positive. But from what I've read
it is not unusual for an infected cat that's only three months old to test
I am concerned, to put it mildly.
My poor boy's PCV/RBC values are up, very slightly. I think the RBC
went from 2.59 to 2.75. His white blood cell count is back up again,
though - it had gone down last bloodwork.
He still feels very good, and that's why my vet says to keep going.
If he didn't
Most positive cats may require a little more time to get over any
illness that a non positive cat needs. Giving the doxy for an extra
week or two is better than having to start all over not to mention that

this with
Hey Cassandra,
Since the doxy is so important in treating the
hemobart, how long was Tomi on it? It doesn't seem
like he's had enought time on the doxy, especially if
he did test positive for hemobart.
Here is a good article on treating hemobartonella, but
it says three weeks for the doxy. I
Hi Belinda,
I read your post about Tomi and was wondering about

job caring for
Hey Cassandra. What Tomi's going through sounds very similar to what Slinky
went through (though his numbers were MUCH lower and his transfusion really
didn't help him any). I would probably keep him on the doxy...I don't think
that would hurt.
