I would be leery of the going the route suggested by the vet at this juncture.
I seriously seriously doubt if the erythropoietin will help. See my earlier
where I explain why.

Hi, Lorraine
Veterinary wants to increase prednisolone to immunosuppressive dose and add
erythropoietin. She thinks it is immune-mediated anemia and not mycoplasma.
Nori is receiving 1,2 mg prednisolone, twice a day. She weighs only 1 kg.
We did x-ray today too. No visible tumor but we found a possible cardiopathy
("Increased globular-looking heart silhouette").

Patricia,
I would go with the transfusion and also start erythropoietin. Stanozolol is
supposed to stimulate erythropoietin production, but she might need a boost of
the ready-made drug just to keep her alive until then.

Hi,
We did another blood work today, her hematocrit is 13% now :(
She is very sleepy but responsive when i talk to her.
I don´t know if i can wait some more days to see if stanozolol is working. Or
maybe it would be better get another transfusion right now.
Today, vet talk about erythropoietin. Do you know if it can be used with
stanozolol?
Thank you,
Patrícia

Hi Patricia – I gave all the pills together, morning and evening, except for
the metoclopramide which was given ½ or so before meals. The rest I gave with
the meals. I didn’t observe a problem with giving them together.
You might also try baby food to get Nori to eat. Get the pureed kind (beef or
chicken with or without vegetables), so it can be sucked up into a syringe. If
my Zander wasn’t eating (and he wasn’t at the start of the medication regime),
then I would use a syringe to get the baby food into him. Baby food is easy to
digest and has good things in it. I would target – say – five 3 cc
syringe-fulls at each feeding. I would boost the number of syringe-fulls if
possible. Eventually, Zander started eating the baby food on his own, and then
I graduated to moist food, and really, anything he wanted until he put the
weight back on.
I had a look at the picture you sent and Nori is adorable. I am crossing my
fingers for you and for Nori. Keep us updated on her progress.

Hi, Amani!
Thanky you very much for you email!
Nori was discharged from the hospital yesterday night. She is eating baby dry
food. I tried canned but she didn´t accept so weel.
Today i bought other kinds of canned, i'll try them hoping she likes some one.
Compound pharmacy must delivery stanozolol today.
Are there any precautions regarding medication schedules? Close or far to doxy,
for example?
This is Nori:

Sorry Patricia – after going on and on in my last email, I realized I hadn’t
actually answered your question. I think you can probably use the stanozolol
with the Doxycycline, without the prednisone, but prednisone itself has
properties which help to boost red cell production. Try it out, keep close tabs
on the haematology results and see if you are getting a good response on just
Doxycycline and the Stanozolol. If not, add the prednisone. You may find that
this combination assists with the FIP as well, as per my previous email.

Hi from Brazil,
I rescued a very weak, dehydrated, extremely thin kitten.
She's hospitalized now. Her hematocrit was 8, had blood transfusion which
raised hematocrit to 22, now it is 19. Low reticulocyte count.
She has difficulty walking, which we can not define if it is just weakness or
neurological. Already had a seizure.
She also have changes in her kidneys. It has been tested and is felv +
She is receiving doxy and the hospital vets would like to include prednisolone.
However, as it is not possible yet to rule out PIF, and the medication I could
use in the case of PIF does not work if the cat received prednisolone, I am
trying to avoid it.
The veterinarian agreed to prescribe stanozolol.
Can it be used without prednisolone, only with doxy she is already receiving?
Thank you!
Patrícia
