    Mandy needs your prayers

    Little Mandy was scheduled to be spayed on friday so she had an appointment for her pre-surgery blood work on tuesday. They called with the results and told me she had a low white blood cell count and they wanted to redo the blood work again. She went back to the vet last night and the results were the same. Today she has to be tested for feline leukemia (sp?) and FIV. Please pray for little Mandy. I don't know what I will ever do if something is wrong. She does not appear to be sick at all and is acting normal. The vet also told me this may just be normal for Mandy because some strickly indoor cat's immune systems are not as stimulated as an outdoor cat's immune systems and sometimes their white blood cell count is lower. I don't know if she was just trying to make me feel a little better becuse I am very very upset right now. I didn't post about her first test results because I was really hoping the second one would be fine.

    Please pray,

    Rosemary

    Mandy is in my prayers. I can tell you that I have heard of some indoor cats having a lower count.

    I can also tell you that with Feline Leukemia and FIV there are distinct signs that the cat is ill. Swollen lymph nodes, diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss, discharge from the nose, etc.

    I hope some of the information helps a little....but fingers, toes, and all the Chartier Cats paws will be crossed as well.

    Good luck to you both!
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    I must have misunderstood you .. because I didn't pick up on the part where you said she already had her second blood test ... It seems as though Mandy would be sick if this was anything serious. When this happened to Toby, a couple people mentioned that it could be just an infection or anything like that

    I am keeping Mandy in my thoughts and prayers .... she will be fine.

    Ok God, we need your help again. Please make sure little Mandy is OK and healthy and the FIV comes back negative. Thanks.

    Hugs to you Rosemary and scruntchies to Mandy. Will be looking for positive updates.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Thank you all so much for your prayers and positive thoughts. I am trying to keep positive. I guess I will find out the results in about 4-5 hours.
