Thanks again, all.

One odd thing the vet told me that may relieve some of you, too. Apparently cat's platelet clump VERY easily. Part of the reason it took soooo long to get the results was that when they did the initial platelet count they did it by machine to be faster and due to the clumping he showed up dangerously low. So they reran the test manually and he was fine. I'd no idea about this. Had any of you heard of this before?

I'm just so happy to read that Pauline

Pleased the blood works were negative - no I didn't know that about the platelets! How strange.

Hope our special boy is feeling much better - lots of good vibes and {{{{{{Hugs}}}}} across the miles to you both xxxx

I knew that cats' blood clumped easily and that is why, if they get any kind of puncture wound it sometimes becomes abscessed, because the blood clots too easily then the sore scabs over and basically heals from the outside in, trapping the bacteria in and causing infection so the wound needs to be re-opened, drained and allowed to heal again after being cleaned out.

I had no idea it affected blood tests, but I guess we know now.

It's great that you need to type around him again. Awww....

Just found out about Cassy... !

Oh, I am so glad that sweet Cassy is alright after all!! Give him a great hug
