I am not going to repeat what many others have already read from me, over and over again in this group. 



If you haven’t seen my previous posts, and you want further information, I shall do my best to dig up my previous posts and re-post. However, the short answer from me is a recommendation to use Winstrol (Stanazolol). It is an anabolic steroid, which your vet (a) may never have heard of or (b) will give you a hard time about giving it to you. Your vet needs to get it from a compounding pharmacy. I suggest a dose of 2 mg a day for your cat because there are some very concerning numbers in the lab results you posted, especially the very very low platelet results, and low RBC and Haematocrit numbers. Winstrol will directly help increase the red cell count and haematocrit. It will also significantly increase appetite. It will usually start having a positive effect very rapidly. 



Don’t wait. Your vet will probably give you the run-around on getting the Winstrol, and will likely suggest that Winstrol will worsen the liver enzymes (which are already increased). However, any increase in liver enzymes is likely to be temporary and they will drop back down when the Winstrol is discontinued. 



Sorry to everyone else for being a broken record.

I come to you for suggestions for our Cole. We got Cole as a litter rescue from our yard 
We feed the strays and a little very young mother left them at our door 
We already had some house cats so built a kennel to shelter them Outside and began To look for homes for them. Then two litter kittens showed up and old tom. A no kill shelter took the littler kittens. They found out one if them tested positive for feline leukemia. We tested rest of ours and all but the one female tested positive. So we cleaned out our garage, insulated, heated, air conditioned and sheltered them there. No matter what we did little Tig was so sick That he died before he was a yr old. He was such a sweet little cat that considered everything and anyone a toy--so sad. The rest tested negative the next two test. We all lived happily for next 3 1/2 years. Until this week Cole stopped eating. 

Took him to vet and here is bad part. 
Tested positive for feline leukemia again 
Bun10 (16-3( 
Alt 294(12-130) 
Alkp 144(14-111) 
Tbil 4.2(0.0-0.9) 
Rbc 4.02 (8.54-12.20) 
Hct 21.1(30.3-52.3) 
Hgb 6.8(9.8-16.2) 
Wbc 2.06(2.87-17.02 
Neu 0.50(1.48-10.29) 
Lym 0.74(0.92-6.88) 
Plt 39(151-600) 
Rest was in normal range 
The vet gave Cole subcutaneous fluids, polyflex/dexasone injection, b complex injection, and clavamox drops on last wednesday. 

But he cant eat and i am syringe feeding AD prscription Food. First few days was able to get him to take 2 syringes but then threw up and have not been able to get him past One syringe since then without him throwing up. He threw up food three times and phlem or hair. He is very alert, drinking, urinating 2-4 times a day, no BM until one little turd today 
He bathes Self after he eats, shinny healthy looking hair. Took Cole back today and vet did same as before but We changed to Orbax instead of clavamox. I was very excited tonight cause he attempted to eat But only licked gravy of purina Fancy feast., but was start. Later this evening after syringe feed only 3 ml he threw up what looked like two meals!! He seems to have a good day, but then has setback with throwup--- three times he has done that . He has lost a pound in 6 days!!. So worried cause he cant eat on own and keeps throwing up. 

His brother Ash tested positive again too but his bloodwork is all in normal range and seems ti be doing fine. His other brother BJ tested negative and bloodwork all normal range. Vet suggested no treatment for them. I housed them together and seperated Cole. 

I am so worried that we are going to loose Cole because he cant eat and keeps throwing up syringed food. Also worried about Ash's positive test for feline leukemia again. 
Sorry for lenght but thought you wpuld need all info. 
Please advise as soon as possible. Thank you from Cole, his family and I
