2eclipsei just got off the phone with the vet, a very competant young woman. i can tell she knows what she's talking about and i feel he is getting very good care.
so luther's red blood count is better than it was.
that doesn't mean he isn't a very, very sick kitty.
in the CVA (a count of ALL the different kinds of cells in the blood)that they did last night, he had too many lymphocites.
she is going to do a bone marrow sampling.
she is not optomostic about what she will find.
there are three things in the range of possibilities.
1)FLV. after all the craziness it could still be that. the blood tests are good, but FLV can hide in their bone marrow.
2)cancer. this seems to be what the vet thinks she will find.
3)an autoimmune virus. this is the only option that is treatable.
some of the results will be available today. some not until after the holidays.
she says he is stable right now. he could live a few months even if what he has is not treatable.
this is not the xmas present i wanted.
