Blood results as follows:

Haematology:

Red Cells 8.92 10^12/l
Haemoglobin 14.4 g/dl
Hct 0.536 l/l
MCV 60.1 fl
MCH 16.1 pg
MCHC 26.9 g/dl

White Cells 4.99 10^9/l
Neutrophils 36% 1.80 10^9/l
Lymphocytes 33% 1.65 10^9/l
Monocytes 7% 0.35 10^9/l
Eosinophils 24% 1.20 10^9/l

Platelet Count 336 10^9/l

Morphological Assessment: Red cells appear normal. Mild eosinophilia

Biochemistry:
Total Protein 69.4 g/l
Albumin 32.2 g/l
Globulin 37.2 g/l
AG Ratio 0.87
Urea 8.5 mmol/l
Creatinine 82.0 umol/l
ALT (SGPT) 33.5 IU/L
Alk Phosphatase 15.3 IU/L
Gamma GT 1.7 IU/L
Total Bilirubin 0.9 umol/l
Amylase 330.3 IU/l
Glucose 5.5 mmol/l

Have just converted the creatinine value into mg/dl (as per normal values on http://www.skunkhaven.net/VetCare4.htm#Blood)

Which makes our value of 82 umol/l into 0.93 mg/dl (divide by 88 to convert according to http://www.convert-me.com/en/bb/viewtopic.php?t=1549)

This puts the value within normal range... 0.93 mg/dl in normal range of 0.46 - 2.0 mg/dl.

Anyways, will speak to you tomorrow after you have seen what you can find out and also when we have the labs response back!

i hope someone can help you out on what natural levels should be too hun

give tatty a hug from evil aunty Em

Emma Tattys owner has just called me to tell me that tatty is very poorly again

her creatin levels and Urea (sorry on spelling) levels have shot up again and tatty in herself is showing signs of being poorly again.......drastic weight loss, lethargy, and loss of appitite

Emma has had her back at the vets for bloods doing and is awaiting the results back from them and will post them upon reciept

But she asked me to let people know as tatty got alot of support from the people on here when she went through her 1st ordeal and Emma appreciated that so much

So sorry i have had to post this thread but even Emma herself knows that its highly possible she may have to make the descision of letting tatty go

Sorry if there are any spelling mistakes but its been a lil upsetting for me to have to post this a few of us went through alot with this girl and really did think she had come out the other end a pure miracle

She's also drinking more, shaking

how old is tatty now? she could still make an unexpected recovery like last time though couldnt she?

[Emmaj]

well cat have just been chatting to emma again an we have come up with something that she is gonna put to the vet nurse in an email and see if we can follow it up

so there is a chance that she could pull through this again

but not saying too much until this avenue has been explored just in case

It was only a short while ago tatty came to stay with us and she was doing so well.

We've all got our fingers, toes, claws crossed for her
