I'm glad to hear that the test results all came back good.

Now you can relax.

Hooray for Lily and Kirsten both!

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.
