A thread about the mysterious and tragic spike in cases of #pancytopenia in cats across the UK, that has come to light over the last few weeks. It’s an evolving situation, but some thoughts about where we stand today.
Firstly: what follows is a personal perspective (full disclosure: I conduct research for a large producer of pet food and provider of veterinary care). I have no “inside information” on the issue other than my experience of the industry. That said…
Pancytopenia is the loss/reduction of all three types of blood cell. It’s as serious as it sounds in cats, often fatal in fact. It is often a result of a bone marrow issue, and can be caused by nutrient deficiency, infection, poisoning or immune disorders. i.e. lots of things.
