[Felvtalk] Rescued kitten felv +

[Lorraine Johnston]

Patricia,

 

Has Nori been tested for mycoplasma? That can cause a sometimes fatal anemia and is treated (usually) with doxycycline.

Also, some members of the FIV-Healthscience discussion group are having very good luck with the broad antiviral RetroMad1 (RM1), from Malaysia, for their FeLV cats.  If you want a few contacts to discuss this drug with, let me know and I’ll pass them along.

 

 

Best regards,

 

- Lorraine

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
