Hi Lance, It sounds like you had some mixed news at the vets, some good, some bad. I think it's fantastic that Ember is not anemic. I would much rather be dealing with WBC issues than RBC issues, since low WBC could be so many different things, some easily corrected. I don't know of any vets who have had VO experience, but you might post that as the subject heading if you don't get good response to this post. I think you are doing exactly the right thing by doing your own research and looking to talk with people who have experience with the VO. I think people from the UK have an advantage on us when it comes to that. I could cross post this if you'd like me to on the hyperT site I belong to. There are a lot of UK members there that might be able to help you out or cross post elsewhere. You might also consider calling or writing to one of the veterinary colleges about this. I wrote Dr. August at Texas A&M University concerning the overdosing of newly diagnosed hyperthyroid kitties back in February, and he called me. He's over feline internal medicine, very active in the veterinary community, a very nice man, and might be able to point you in the right direction. I had to write to him because they would not put me through to his voicemail when I called because I was not a student or a vet. It was a bit frustrating, but since I'm a better writer than speaker, it probably worked out better.
Keep us posted on Ember. I bet she will gain her weight back in no time! :) Wendy "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world - indeed it is the only thing that ever has!" ~~~ Margaret Meade ~~~ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
