Finally talked to the vet tonight. I'm taking Crybaby in tomorrow to have her blood cell counted again. 3 days ago they were :RBC 14 and WBC 32,000.
When I first took her to the vet when she was diagnosed with hepatic lipidosis both her WBC and RBC were perfectly normal.
So tonight the vet thinks that this maybe a secondary problem from the lipidosis. She said sometimes the white blood cells will respond to an infection and go wild and start attacking the body's own red blood cells. Also there is a possibility that she has the herpes virus ( her sister does) and the stress from the lipidosis has caused a URI and this is cause the irregular blood cell count. Of course it could still be something more serious with the bone marrow.
Anyway I'll let you all know how the numbers are tomorrow. The vet thought she could make a better diagnosis once she sees a few test results over time to see what direction the numbers are going in.
I am so grateful that I live near an animal emergency hospital. My vet is part of the hospital so they are very experienced. Thank you for your prayers and thoughts. They are truly appreciated.
