Hi, Mr. Jinks is over 15 now; he plays, eats, runs, purrs. He is such a happy cat. 2 years ago my vet told me his WBC were low, probably from stressfrom cats bothering him outside on the deck. He has been on Prozak ever since, and we capture the bothering cats. This year the vet said his WBC is lower, she thinks he got of some kind of infection because I told her he mews when he pees. After a month of penicillin, she decided to do lab work again; she then told me his numbers were still very low. She decided to test him for FelIV and FIV, to which he was negative. Now she says she does not know what to do other than have me see an internal medicine specialist and do an ultrasound. I told her that he is happy, andif he had cancer I would not want to bother the rest of his life with annoing things such as chemiotherapy, just to make him miserable, she agreed with my decision. We decided together that I will take him to her every two months for blood tests and if anything happens. Now, after telling you the entire story, please tell me what you suggest. Should I see another vet? Am I being cruel? I feed him a variety of foods to keep his immune system as healty as possible. Thank you everyone. Barbara
