Mandy is in my prayers. I can tell you that I have heard of some indoor cats having a lower count.

I can also tell you that with Feline Leukemia and FIV there are distinct signs that the cat is ill. Swollen lymph nodes, diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss, discharge from the nose, etc.

I hope some of the information helps a little....but fingers, toes, and all the Chartier Cats paws will be crossed as well.
