[Felvtalk] Rescued kitten felv +

Fri Jun 7 11:52:37 CDT 2019

Hi, Amani!

Nori got another transfusion last night, hematocrit was 11.9 before it.

Today morning, i talk to the hospital's veterinarian, she said hematocrit
went to 29 and Nori was fine, all normal parameters and eating by herself
again.

But plasma was intensely icteric. I think this means red cells being
destroyed, isn't it?

About one hour ago, veterinarian said Nori was with low temperature and
heart rate slightly lower than normal. She was waiting the new blood work.
In the morning, it was done only hematocrit, not complete blood work.

i am worried again.

Thank you,

Patrícia
