Corresponding author: Danijela Videnović zelenivenacvet@gmail.com Summary: Changes in haematological and biochemical values can indicate a disease that can be of different origins. Systemic changes can be represented equally due to viral, bacterial or certain immunological changes in cats, which can be observed as a change in reference values in haematology and biochemistry. During the examination, white blood cells, red blood cells, hemoglobin, transaminases, urea, creatinine, and globulins are most often monitored. Lymphopenia (FIV, FIP, FeLV) or neutropenia (FeLV ) can be observed in certain viral diseases. In that period, cats often show visible changes in the clinical picture when the owner comes to the veterinarian to consult about the treatment of the animal. Neutropenia with anaemia, thrombocytopenia are not rare in FeLV, FIV infected cats. These types of changes can occur independetly of each other in the mentioned diseases. Anaemia can be one of the indicators for FIP, but so can thrombocytoopenia. Proper sampling, the way the sample is processed can affect the final result. A high- quality history is important in the further steps of diagnosis. All this is very important to us when we decide on how to treat cats in the case of indetified changes at the level of haematology and biochemistry. The availability of preparations that will affect the strengthening of immunity based on beta glucan, vitamin K for thrombocytopenia, and iron supplements for anaemia are part of supporative therapy. Most often, immunosuppressants are included. Antibiotics are included according to the established diagnosis. Preparations based on silymarin and SAMe products have a positive effect on the reduction of transaminases (ALT,ALP) in case of damage to parenchymatous organs, and improve liver in FIP, FIV-afflicted cats. When and how to start therapy in such animals is influenced only by the clinical condition of the pet, i.e., the presence of vomiting and diarrhoea or the absence of appetite and respiratory changes. In the case of the above-mentioned present symptoms, start compensation with electrolytes, and clear solutions of supplements. Changes in haemotological and biochemical findings help in therapy and more closely determining the diagnosis of certain viral diseases, but to establish a definitive diagnosis, it is necessery to perform other tests using available methods: rapid tests, PCR diagnostics, serological analysers.
