JoJo Louse - High Blood Count

[elizabethann]

JoJo's Vet called and said that her blood work looks fine. However, her white blood cell count is high. The vet said that JoJo's body may be trying to fight an infection of some kind.

Once in awhile she'll make this strange coughing/sneezing sound. So hopefully, she can get that under control.

The Vet said it wasn't anything to be alarmed about.

In 6-7 weeks, JoJo will be getting her teeth cleaned (it makes me nervous that she'll be "under"). They'll do another blood work on her then to see how the blood cell count is and they'll also x-ray her leg.

My poor JoJo Lousie. Please keep her in your thoughts.

I'm sorry to hear this but try not to worry. Is the vet going to put her on any antibiotics as a precautionary measure?

Prayers and positive thoughts for JoJo.

No she didn't mention that. I don't think the vet was very worried. Thanks for the good thoughts.

Oh my the white count is high (signs of infection), your cat is sneezing/coughing and your vet isnt concerned? Oh my.
Sorry, dont agree this is something to be concerned about and I'd be asking the vet for antibotics.

Good luck.

I'm sorry to hear this and this would worry me. I sure hope that whatever it is that it's nothing serious. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way.

I will contact the vet and see what's going on and why she didn't prescribe antibiotics.
