Greetings all
My 1 year old male cat was tested as preliminary requirement before castration and showed very low PLT (40,000 per microliter of blood) and slightly abnormal level of Amylase. WBC RBC and the rest of biochemistry test turned out fine.
The vet prescribed some medicine, and We tested him 3 weeks later as advised, PLT decreased to 30,000 but amylase shows normal reading. So we were advised to continue the supplement and back 2 weeks later.
3rd test showed similiar result (plt slightly increased to 40,000 ),my vet advise nothing but to continue with the blood supplement. She also checked that my cat seems to be fine, no bleeding or bruise. other readings wre also fine, the only problem is the PLT.I asked for blood smear or any other test, incase of blood parasite, but my vet said no need because my cat does not show any symptom, he is eating and drinking well, no issue on his fecal matters and urine too.
Ive read about pseudothrombocytopenia on this forum before, my cat was tested with automated machine (vetscan v2) which might be the issue.We are scheduled for 4th test due this week but we are looking for a 2nd opinion, any advice on what to do to solev this issue? should we do a complete blood test in different clinic (most of the clinic in my country use smiliar machine) or should we do another test?
