Well, I posted Luna's test results here, and as her leukocytes are decreased for several years now, she's going to be tested for an underlying viral infection with FeLV. I just spoke to my vet about it. She said she checked this option and doesn't think it's FeLV as other parameters of her blood count are not like that. Also, she thinks the lab would have mentioned a possible FeLV infection as well if they thought the blood count was suspicious. But then she offered me to call the lab and order a test for feline leukemia (they still have the blood sample, I think), and I agreed...
Well, and now I'm really nervous, and fear the result. Hope I will get it on Thursday, as we have a holiday here on Friday. Please keep my Luna in your thoughts!! She had her basic immunization against FeLV as a kitten, and was vaccinated in the following years, but has never been tested. (Lily was tested after she lived here for several months, and her test was negative, so I figure if Luna was infected, Lily would have picked it up? And after that, they never have been exposed to other cats, or a possible source of infection).
Please keep your fingers crossed for my beloved Luna - and Lily, too!!!
