Loreena got something :-(

Today I  wont last for a long here since my furry baby Lolo is sick and I have to make her eat,but its always  a pleasure be with you all.
I really dont know whats going on since she woke up yesterday morning apathic,no mood for leaving or eating _ all was ok the previous night.The only I could make her eat later all day long was a  bite of Whiskas sache chicken ( Few) and a few nuggets of dry food.Morning poo was ok
She was so down that She allowed me to take her temperature and she was with fever so I took her to the vet by 4PM ( the hour available) Vet just give her a shot of something for fever/infection ( if I can remember right, I'm dont work properly sleeping bad)and say me iif she was not better next day we will need some lab tests,as blood one for investigate  the reason ( $$$)
So I went home expecting Lolo would be better later on ,bought and cooked some chicken for her _ and the only she took was the liquid - what made me a little calmer (just  a little...) since my greatest fear is she dehydrating.
Today shes a little more active  but keeps almost  not eating - no dry food or whiskas tis this moment (2PM) just some chicken.Dont see her drinking exception to the chicken water.
A proportionaly small poo - 3 little balls
Vet its already stressed out with me,cos I keep calling and sometines do it at the bad tines but what can I do? I cant guess the hour shes avaliable and she never calls back when I ask her for!
Cell credits, money, all is gone...
Call her early morning as set previosly - All I wanna know was if  she wanted me to take Lolo there for blood sampler, since I guess that has to be done in fastening.She say " wait til lunch time to see if she eats."When I call her back to say she had done it poorly and I was afraid she was/is still with fever she tolds me lots ( 8m on the phone) and sugested that  maybe she could internate Lolo.
The story ends by now with me supposed to call her after 4Pm if LOLO eats nothing ,or quite few
Not sure if I will... Hope little girl get some hungry while I'm not home - and, heavens,please dont disappear since getting her back without food interests will  be  a hell.I could not let her inside home, it would make her stressed and reduce even more her appetite
Chicken is not beeig attractive anymore - to make things worse I had give that for her a few days ago,without need!
Do the florals for animals work? Say so and I will consider take the humane...
Sighs... :-(

Hi Apple, I'm glad to hear Lolo is feeling better.  Sounds though like you're not too sure about the tests.  I will read that site myself when I'm done with this msg.  Jade is feeling much better and has been eating normally.  Whatever was wrong has passed.  Big bucks to the vet for blood and urine tests, but that's okay, it's worth my peace of mind.  Jade is about 10yrs and no bloodwork for a yr so time for it anyway.  Only thing wrong is crystals in the urine.  After seeing you list Lolo's test results, I just called my vet for a copy of the blood and urine results so I can compare also.  

Hopefully, Lolo just got into something that upset her tummy.  I think that must of been what happened with Jade.  With outdoor kitties, one only has so much control.  I'm glad you're able to keep an eye on Lolo's bowel movements.  Jade does her business outside so I never know if she's ill until she actually shows signs whereas if she used a litter box, I might be aware of a problem sooner.  I hope Loreena continues to improve!!  So much worry when our girls are ill.  Like you, I get very upset and obsess about Jade almost every minute until she begins to act like herself again.  

(((Hugs)))

The values are the ones that came together with the real results ,for a basic comparisom.And yes, they are from a Brazilan lab, the one  were the test was done
Not sure if its the way it works in your country.But those charts always change according to the methodology used on the essay
Not that I know much about those but I learned a few basic rules about the most commom ones at University,a long time ago ...
Red and white blood series,RH,urine 1, search for parasites (Poo) spermogram .. but all for humanes
Results of the chart I posted for  are in / mm3  for leucogram, mg/dl  for ureia and  U/L for fosfatase ( both last ok)

I will search more about,thanks for taking time in helping me,I will try those sites as well. Kisses!

hi Apple, I'm not sure the values you are listing from a lab in Brazil???
this site gives you info on how to read lab results and their meanings, but the values are all US measures....may need to convert(?)
as far as this chart reveals...for a feline platelets can vary from 190-800/ul
so if the same measurement chart is used in Brazil than I would think Lolo is within healthy range...read up for yourself, I'm afraid I dont know alot about lab results....other than what I deal with here in Canada..good luck hon. glad she is eating again!!!

Appetite is better but she still  waits and beg for tasteful stuff- its being hard not to give her that but I 'll try for today.
Hope she wont decide capturing a bird as chicken substitute ...
First sign she was slightly better was see her chasing a cockroach !

Some poo today abour 9 to 10 Pm - not bad! 2 days without doing that - she was eating amost nothing...
Behaving more normal today, but she not herself yet.Maybe one or two days more - I'm not being myself this last time either,our routine is a little shaken ( hours at home) No mood for going to SP set eye doct for me ( dont worry, just routine,my eyes are fine)

Is Jade ok now?

Blood test brings 2 or 3 small things that make me  a little unconfortable. I will post them here since you probably have a lot of experience with those

LEUCOGRAM
Leucocites ( total)  10.700  normal rate 6.000  to 17.000  - ok
Bastonetes   10%    1070     normal rate 0 to 1/ 0 to 2
Linfocites     14%    1498     normal rate 20 to 50/20 to 50

all the others are ok  

Plaquetes are a little lower as well 217.000   n.r 250.000 to 500.000

Does anybody here knows if that means some trouble or disease?All I know related to few plaquetes is that can represent problems in  blood coagulation


Vet had said results were ok .For reasoms already mentioned I didnt read the results at that moment and  I dont want to look for her again now

Should I trusth her?
