Dear Doctor? My cat lately started eating less, his body temperature increased. So, I took him to the vet. after a couple of weeks he’s better. I took the FIV and FPV test, bacteria, viruses and all kind of blood tests. I also did an X-Ray and an ultra sound. Nothing unsual and no signs og anything worrying. Although what worries me, are her low white blood cell count. Should I be worried? What might that be that doesn’t come up on the tests? Thanks a lot in advance! Alisa

My 5 years old male cat has been acting really strange, about 5 months ago we have had his first dental clean (for bad gingivitis) at the same time we did blood work that presented with Extremely low PMS leading to low total WBC count (only PMNS levels were low), his other labs were normal (not anemic). We have also had a new kitten added to the family around the same time. His appetite decreased and so is his activity (he used to run around the house). Now, he is scared of everything and hisses at everything and just hides. He is very unfreindly to the new cat. He was always an only cat and strictly indoor. I am not sure if his behavior is contributed to the new cat or a medical disorder. We have roled out FIV (negative) and his doctor mentioned that his low PMNS can be due to his gingivitis. I'm considered that this could be a bigger health issue. He eats about 5 table spoons of wet food a day and snacks on dry food. (used to be 9 spoons a day). drinks good. always sleeping. weights 4.5kg.

Hi Doctor- my kitty is 8 years old and she has been her active, normal self when all of a sudden she started feeling lethargic, fever, etc. We took her in and she has low white blood cells/anemia and still a fever but the doctor had given her prednisone and an appetite stimulant. As soon as he gave her the stimulant, she came home and ran to her food to eat. She is now laying down and her ears are not as warm as they were earlier. I’m praying that whatever she has, passes and that it is not lukemia.

My 2 yr old cat has been kind of lethargic. She is usually very bouncy and talks all of the time. I took her to the vet and her white blood cell count was extremely low. She was tested for feline leukemia and that was negative. What else could she have? What should I do?

My 16 year old (best friend) charlie was throwing up and seems to be crying a lot, but still purrs too. He also began hiding and sleeps a lot. His checkup at vet included an outward exam that seemed normal, however bloodwork showed a low neutriphils white cell count of 1200 instead of >3000) (it was 1600 over a year ago) I can still get him to eat- some dry, some wet- Is there a way to raise the wbc count? Vet said they can do another combo test for FIV/leukemia Since his wbc count has been low for awhile would another test be useful? Am I missing something. Not sure what to do for him at this point but dont want him to be in pain & cant tell if he is.
