So glad to read Lily's results came back negative. Could it be that her blood count is off because of something missing in her diet? I have no idea, but ask your vet.
Happy dance for Lily, Luna and you!

Thanks a lot! I'm really so relieved tonight! No idea if something could be missing in their diet, I never heard this could affect the number of blood cells. I did some research on the internet today and learned that decreased leucos could not only mean that there's a virus, also some bacteria can cause this, or even parasites like toxoplasmosis or leishmaniasis. Weird.
Lily, however, has never been ill in her entire life (except for that increased urea level two years ago), but she never had diarrhea, or a cold, or some other kind of infection, so it's really hard to believe there's some underlying disease.

I am so happy Lily is okay! Most of us know the worry about something being seriously wrong with one of our babies. May both Luna and Lily enjoy many more years with you.
Proud to be a crazy cat lady!

Thank you!Yes, I think I will ask my vet for supplements, etc. One thing she mentioned (but that was regarding the increased eosinophiles) was a worm treatment. But re. the leucos... she said that there were many other viruses that could cause this - not only the fatal ones we usually think of, those Lily has been tested for. But like I said; Lily has never shown any signs of illness in her entire life (and I know her from the day she was born), so her immune system can't be as down as the low leucocytes would suggest...
