CBC stuff is human version of complete blood work up.
Glad she is feeling better and they figured out what was wrong.

I am so glad to hear the update!
I missed this thread so I always like the ones I come in late on with happy endings.
Does Eosinophilic ulcer sound familiar? Kylie has that. My vet told me it is an allergic reaction from flea bites.

All of us from Wisconsin are happy to hear your little girl is doing better. I woke up and the first thing I was going to do was check on your little girls updates. I understand your concern the meezers just manage to get themselves so entangled in your heart you are lost without them. Anyway I am so glad to hear she is doing better. Let us all know if something changes. Give Pearl a big hug from all of us.

Yes, I think that this is what they called it because it was some kind of an ulcer. I just looked it up and here's a link about it:Eosinophilic Ulcer.

Pearl's upper lip wasn't as bad as the cat pictured and she had a coritcosteriod injection which has helped it heal. It looks pretty good now. I've never heard that it's caused by flea bites. As far as I know, she's never even had fleas and I give my cats advantage every month so this won't happen.

Pearl continues to do well and is a little more active today. She's eating very well but is still sneezing from time to time. She was also very easy to medicate and I hope that this will continue. I think she knows that I'm trying to help her. Storm is still hissing at her and Pearl wants some comforting from him but he's so aggressive towards her. It's so sad to watch. I hope that by tomorrow Storm will love his little sister again.

Thanks again for all of your concerns. I'll continue to keep you updated about her. Hopefully I'll know more after her recheck visit on Mon. morning.

well my vet said it was an allergic rxn caused by the bites. Kylie has had it all her life - and she was a barn cat and I noticed when she did have fleas it flares up - but of course she also has an allergic skin condition to flea bites too.
