Dropped Toby off to the vet ...

He tested negative for both FIV and Felv tests!!! WHAT A RELIEF!!!

However, we still don't know what the problem is. The doctor said he is perfectly healthy aside from the immune deficicency in his blood. She suggested it might be an infection maybe in his bladder or something they can't easily detect. So we have to bring him back next Friday to get him tested again and if everything is fine they will do the surgery. If not .. they have to send his blood away for further testing.

At least we have some good news!!

What a relief!! Here's hoping the next test comes out clean. At least the waiting is over...for now anyway.

I remember that around the time Filou was fixed they also were not happy with his blood work. Sorry I do not remember what it was because they tested later again and it was ok. So I hope it will turn out like that with Toby

Congratulations ... I am so glad that it wasn't leukemia. Maybe by next Friday he will be just fine.

Whew! I'm so glad it's not FIV or Felv. Hopefully by next week he'll be all normal and everything will be fine. Poor you for having to worry all afternoon.

Hugs and scritchies to Toby. I'm so glad he's ok.

**ScantyNebula** · 03-28-2003, 03:54 PM

thanks, we're also very glad. Toby appreciates all your support!

Even if you don't quite have the answer yet, the negative tests ai GREAT news. What a relief!!!

**krazyaboutkatz** · 03-28-2003, 11:51 PM

Whew! I'm so glad to hear that Toby is FIP and FELV negative.

I sure hope it's nothing serious and that it can be easily treated. Prayers are on the way for your sweet Toby. Please keep us updated.

Glad to hear Toby is ok. I'm sure it's just an infection or something and can be treated so he can have his surgery. I'm glad the vet did pre op bloodwork too. Some vets don't and I hate that. You would never want to put an animal under if they had some sort of problem. Anesthesia is not something to be messed around with!
did you get any medication to treat this?

**HayleyRosie** · 03-31-2003, 06:03 AM

I'm so happy to hear that both tests came back negative. Toby was on my mind all weekend.

**jenluckenbach** · 03-31-2003, 06:08 AM

So how is Toby doing now?

**ScantyNebula** · 03-31-2003, 08:52 AM

Toby was not himself once he got home from the vet on Friday .. we were a little worried, guess he just got scared after being there all morning! He was purring on my pillow the next morning! =D He seems healthy..I'm kinda thinking he might have the flu or something...they said he had immune deficiency .. maybe it could be because of the flu? I dunno..but lately he's been sneezing and he's breathing hard through his nose sometimes. Other than that he's eating fine, playing as usual..nothing alarming.

I'm just now reading this the first time, but I wanted to say I sure am happy that Toby's FIV and Felv tests were normal! That is a great relief!!!! Please keep us posted on anything else you find out, and give Toby a big cuddle for me!!!
