Hi
I have a 2 year old cat who is the love of my life who is FIV+. He has had a very hard life so far. He was dumped in a bin full of cat flu and could barely see and with FIV. We have constantly been battling urinary problems and he gets very stressed very easily. He is just getting over a UTI which took ages to resolve and they have checked his CD4 & CD8 and he is (from what I have been told) on the border of having AIDS.
This is the recent bloods and why I am having a melt down. He is so young to be progressing into AIDS and no one seems to be able to give me much information. The other thing is he is actually acting and looking the healthiest I have seen since I got him so I am not sure what to think!
CD5 (Pan T cell) abs.count 0.49x10'9/L normal range (0.4-3.5)
CD4 (T cell subset) abs.count 0.33x10'9/L normal range (0.3-2.0)
CD8 (T cell subset) abs.count 0.16x10'9/L normal range (0.15-1.6)
Does anyone have any advice or ideas that might help him?
