hi everyone,

stoli is a tiny bit more active today. he didn't want the a/d formula last night so we had to syringe feed him. he hated that. he told us he was hungry at 3.30 this morning so we tried to tempt him with a/d, nothing, his normal wet food, nothing, he really wanted his dry kitten food so we let him eat some. he ate about 10 pieces and kept all but 3 down. we syringed him twice and let him be. this morning he ate almost 1.5oz of his normal wet food and kept it all down. he played with luxor a bit and was alert but still mopey. we took him to the vet and decided not to run another CBC as it was too soon. we talked about our options and what the vet thought could be causing such a low white cell count. basically he thinks it's one of three things. 1. leukemia that went undetected, 2. some sort of rare bone marrow disease, or 3. a viral infection that we still haven't found that his body is trying to fight. His breeder called me this morning to check in on him so that was nice. i'm just trying to give him love but also 'make' him eat so he can keep his energy up. I am going to a specialist on monday so stoli can have his bone marrow tested.

i found this from mzjazz2u

By the way, it's been 1 1/2 months and Jake is eating well and back up to 10 lbs. He's chasing a toy mouse as I sit here and climbing the cat condo! He still hasn't gotten all his fur back but it will take a few months. It looks like the vet pathologist at work was correct. He said he believed Jake got an inflammed bowel that led to stop eating eventually. I had tried to switch his food over the previous few months and it was apparently a really bad idea. I guess my point is that I would question strongly any diagnosis of corona virus/FIP. Guess I didn't really need to go through the whole story! Just felt like sharing it!
the inflammed bowel seems familiar.

Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
FIP is very, very difficult to diagnose. But according to my vet, the signs would be a "hyper protein state" (high level of blood proteins - anything above 7.6 is a major red flag) combined with anemia, fever, and loss of appetite.

If your vet suspected FIP, he would most likely be doing an ultrasound to look for fluid collecting in your kitty's abdomen and/or lungs, not a biopsy.

But no matter what the problem is, I hope they discover it soon and that Stoli is quickly on the road to complete recovery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sending major "be completely healthy" vibes to your Stoli, and "be strong" vibes to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stoli has just had about 5 cc's of chicken baby food and fortiflora. he seemed to tolerate it well. we are going to syringe him some water in a few minutes. he's alert but not active - luxor's not helping us any. he's just pooped outside the litter box because we had to isolate him while stoli was getting his food.

grrrrrrr
