I don't know how old muffin is, but has his thyroid been checked? It isn't always covered on a blood panel. That can cause high liver values.

Thanks for this input. I will look on his bloodwork sheet I have. If not, I will ask the vet about it. I always appreciate input from others when it comes to doing all I can for my cats.
FarleyV, Muffin is eating well, frisking around all over the yard, and acting like he feels great. Thanks for asking. I started the antibiotic tonight. The vet told me be sure he gets water afterwards, and I told him I would pill him first and then give water with a syringe and then feed him. He said that should be enough to keep him from having any problems. He told me there is necessity to be careful with this pill in being sure he swallows it and the water and food will insure that.

My question again to anyone listening is have you ever given doxycycline to your animal and did they tolerate it well. Keep up prayers that this medicine and the topical neosporin will heal him. His bloodwork will be Tues. eight o'clock am.

Muffin had his follow up blood work this morning to check the WBC to see if it is normal. It was low when he had his annual check up. Also the vet wanted to check for FIV and Feline Leukemia. The bloodwork will be sent out. The part that checked the FIV and Leukemia was done in the office was both negative. The vet also said he does not think the sores on Muffin are any better. He is going to wait he get the results of the bloodwork to make a further decision what to do for Muffin. I am sad that this doxycycline and neosoporin has not seemed to help. Oh someone asked in a previous post to this thread if his thyroid has ever been checked and it has. It is fine.

Wow, glad about the negatives!! It seems to me there is something that people get that prevents sores from healing.....my brain isn't working today.

Gosh, this is a puzzling thing. He is acting good though.

I know circulation plays a role in healing, but these on his neck should have good circulation.

I am gonna ask at my vet tomorrow when I go in to pick up some Arthur food.

Well, I'm glad to hear that there is some good news. I just hope the vet can figure out the rest of it.

Hang tough, Muffin!

I am updating here just to say, I am still waiting to hear from the vet about Muffin's low blood white blood count. As stated previously the FIV and leukemia tests are negative.

I did hear about his blood test late yesterday. Everything is in the normal range. I am still waiting to hear from the vet what if anything he knows to do now to heal up these scabs that are from the wounds he received in October.

I wonder if a course of cyclosporine (atopica) might be beneficial. It's for skin disorders.

You might ask your vet about it.

I'm sorry it's still a mystery, but happy to hear everything else is normal or negative!
