I have recently found out that Butters has low platelets (they are down to around 130). They've done a test on her for feline lukiema (sp?) and it came out negative. My next option is 3 more tests to narrow down the reason for her problem. I'm a little torn as to what test to do next. There's the tick parasite test. BTW she's 100% indoor cat. There's also the autoimmune disease. And I think the last one is to x-ray her and check out her inner organs. The vet sent out the blood she had drawn today to see if the lab can see anything abnormal with her platelets.
She put her on Prednisone (don't think I spelled that right) until we can get some more tests run. The vet said the last time we put her on it (about a month ago) she barely responded to the meds.
Anyone had to deal with this problem before? Any advise as to what to I'm up against? Also, what questions do I need to ask my vet?
