[Felvtalk] Kokonuts Blood test results

The biochemistry results are just fine, but it is clear that the haematology is showing a reduction in all three of the cell lines: red cells, white cells and platelets. The most affected right now is the platelet line. Luckily, nothing immediate will happen with a low normal platelet count, but the lower it drops the more risk of internal bleeding. The white cells are almost out of the reference range on the low end, so that white cell line is also being depressed. The haematocrit level is below normal, but again, the good news is that it will have to slide way below that before real problems start becoming apparent. What is unusual in the results you have provided is that the result for red cell numbers isn't listed. That is usually part of the haematology panel. Also, you should be asking for a reticulocyte count to be done, to determine if the bone marrow is still producing red cells.

I think you are lucky in that you are seeing a set of results that is far from being dangerous yet, and so you have time to treat Kokonuts. My suggestion is that you start Kokonuts on Winstrol and Doxycycline and keep testing her blood work once a week or once every other week at least. Don't wait for the lab results to worsen before going on the offensive against this virus.

I think that the Winstrol will do wonders to get Kokonuts feeling better and eat more.
