[Felvtalk] Update on Bogey My FELV + Cat

[Sherri Godschalk]

I just wanted you all to know that my cat Bogey made an unbelievable
recovery in her counts in the last 6 weeks, only to become jaundice
suddenly yesterday and is not doing well at all.

Her platelets had jumped to 112 from the lower 20s. Her RBC was up to 4.9
and it had been half of that. The amazing jump had been in her hematocrit
was al the way up to 38 from 15. She had been feeling so good and then
everything went south in less than a day.

Her enzymes are at 29. And the scale at the DR says the high end of the
scale is .9. She turned yellow and I got her to the vet within the hour.
She has been on IV trying to flush things out for about 28 hours. She is
eating. But is very disoriented. I believe she is less wobbly today but
they are not retesting her blood until tomorrow. I have had 2 visits with
her and she knows my voice.

My doctor isn't willing to do anything else for her if she does't improve
tonight. With her normalized blood test now, I am wondering if maybe they
should look for a bile obstruction or something. She has no fever, normal
bowel movements. Her urine is dark.

I was just wondering if I should be trying to find another vet if this one
will not even ultrasound her. Suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
