Sept. 2006 I rescued 2 strays (orange Tabby-male and black female). They weighted less than a pound. But put on weight normally. The tabby male is 8lbs. now and has been neutered. When I took her to be spayed her WBC was elevated and platelets were low. They posponed the surgery for 2 weeks and sent her home with Clavamox. That did not help so I returned becasue she had gotten worse. She suddenly stopped playing with her brother and slept ALL DAY! they took her tepm. and it was 103.3 F and her WBC had almost returned to normal and platelets too. Her liver enzymes were slightly off by a value of two or three the vet said. He sent me home with Meldozone. She eats just fine but only weights in at 4.2lbs. I worry becasue hse is not as energetic as her brother but she doesn't play at all. They took blood work and sent it off to a lab at my request to be sure she isn't infected with FIP.
Any suggestion I really pray it isn't that.
Ps. I change their food to Nutro Natural Choice foods and they seem to do better with it from Iams kitten food. Both had Giardia early in life too.
