The vet called today with most of Newt's bloodwork.
--High Globulin (High Protein) in the blood. This could be the immune system being hyper-stimulated from the virus or it could be symptomatic of FPI.
--Slightly Anemic (23%). Not sure what the test is, but originally when he was ill the test showed 27%, 3% over the anemic test meaning he was fine. Today the blood showed just under, so slightly anemic.
Doc beleives these tests could change since Newt has been in and out of fevers. He is more active now and eating with the appetite stimulant, so it is possible he is pulling out of it and all these tests will be debunked after he is well...no way to know just yet. If he is FPI, what are his chances? Doc says that if he has auto immune disease or anemic they can treat with cordical steroids. Anyone have any dealings with this? Is it possible the **cocktail** of anti-biotics/anehistimines/eye drops/pain killers have everything in an uproar right now?
I told her I think the best thing for him right now, while he is doing well, is to keep the appetite stimulant and let him eat/drink with no other medicine for a week or two to flush his system. Let his nose dry up and get his breathing back in order and put on a pound or two, then check the anemia and protein count.
