    Spot on!

    I honestly think a good starting point for many feline anemia cases is assessing for FeLV/FIV and the haemotrophic mycoplasmas.

    By definition this is either a non-regenerative anaemia or a pre-regenerative anaemia. Many feline anemia cases are mon-regenerative but it would never be a bad idea to look for free fluid in the pericardial, pleural and peritoneal spaces.

    The PCV for mycoplasma was negative.
    A SNAP test for FeLV was positive!

    Does this explain the haematology? What would you do next?

    Would you trust the SNAP test as definitely positive?

    So, based on this reticulocyte count, this is a non regenerative anaemia.

    Hello Nathalie.

    Lovely to hear from you! Never a stupid question!

    I am really sorry if I have not been clear. The machine count is totally fine to use as long as it is an absolute number. The absolute count is expressed as a value with x10/9L, which it is in this haematology.

    You have to be careful when the reticulocyte count is expressed as a percentage. That is when you have to use the calculation I mentioned.

    I am sorry if I confused you!

    Hello Frank.

    Lovely to hear from you and thank you you for joining our course. I was in Malta a few years back when the ECVIM congress was there. I have very fond memories.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Hello Jen.

    I hope you are safe and well and enjoying the course. I normally sue the following dose guidelines in cats:

    Xylazine (0.6 mg/kg i.m. or 1 mg/kg s.c.), dexmedetomidine (3–5 μg/kg i.m.) or medetomidine (5–20 μg/kg i.m.).

    To be honest, the sedation effects of medetomidine are really unpredictable. I do normally start at the very low end of the dose and work up a little with top ups if needed.

    Hope that helps.

    Hello Nicola.

    Lovely to hear from you! I am so glad you are enjoying the course!

    Are you talking about using chlorambucil in the context of immune mediated disease or neoplastic disease?

    I would normally monitor blood work every 1-2 weeks for the first month. I would then monitor every 1-3 months. Honestly, if there are significant side effects, I would stop medication and not consider re-starting. I would chose and alternative.

    Hope that helps!

    Hello Kathryn.

    I hope you are safe and well. Yes, this would be appropriate for dental haemorrhage, used in the same way as the nasal preparation.

    Hit those bleeding dentals from every direction!

    Scott 🙂
