I'm a bit worried... Drum went in for a routine dental this morning and the pre-op blood test showed she has a very low white blood count. Obviously they couldn't do the dental, so I've brought her home.
I haven't spoken to the vet yet, it was the nurse who rang me (the vet's phonng later) and she said it could possibly be FeLV or FIV and recommended having a test. It was either that or wait a couple of weeks and redo the pre-op blood test to see if it's back to normal.
As far as I know, Drum has always been an indoor cat so I don't think she could have been exposed to the viruses. And, of course, she's up to date with her boosters. Also, Bass' blood test a few weeks ago was normal - wouldn't she have the virus if Drum has it?
Could it be caused by something minor, like a low grade infection?
She seems fine - eating, drinking, playing as normal but she's 12 so I'm worried it's something serious.
