HI Kathy Hopefully someone here can give you an answer. Junior was anemic when he first got sick and was treated for uncomfirmed hemobatenella(sp). He got over the anemia his HCT was 23. Not as bad as Foxy. He lated tested positive for FELV. I too used Pet Tinic. He also went through the immunoregulin protocol 1 on the felineleukemia home page. He lived another 1.5 years. I was so lucky to have him. Maybe it is time for a new vet. Sally On Tue, Apr 1, 2008 at 7:54 PM, Kathy Dillard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > First of all- thank-you for your response.
