The only med problem my Tucson has had is a couple of episodes of low white blood count. Both times, vet gave her a series of immuno-regulin shots and count went right back up. Both times, I knew something was up with her because she wouldn't eat-she's18 lbs so eating is a big thing for her!!!

So the vet tech called the Doctor since she is off on Fri..we ran a complete blood chem and profile and thyroid...He hasn't had all that since June so we were due...It didn't help us much either...Surprising enough his PCV was 37.5 which is great...the WBC was low normal...some other blood values grans and monocytes were off which I don't know what all that means..his platlets were very low...Anyone know anything about that???? I'm really scared for him now...He doesn't seem to have URI or UTI and no mouth ulcers..no stomach trouble either..He did have a loose stool couple of times the other day. Probably from all the meds on Tues.. I can't get him to eat...I have tried everything...He will eat a few bites at a time and won't drink any broth either..I don't know what else to try...Please let me know what you all think. He also got 250cc subq fluids..today and 2 different antibiotic injections along with 5mg pred which we are going on for a week..and if he won't eat I am to up it to 10mg..also oxazepam for appetite stimulant... Please keep him in your prayers.. I hope all your kitties are doing well...we send head butts to all.. Kerry, Bandy and Inky __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
