Good morning,
I am very sorry to hear about your Brissle's condition. How is she doing?
(and what an unusual name!) I'm no expert on the blood results. hopefully
someone w/ more knowledge will respond soon. there's lot of info about
anemia in the archives. Pet tinic is usually available only at
Thanks---seems there is probably nothing to worry about re Trixie, since
everyone has heard similar sounds. Nothing else in her behavior has
changed--she's as naughty as ever, thank goodness.

My cats throw up repeatedly until they get rid of the hairball. So I'll
routinely find little pools of liquid on the floor until they get rid of

The first time I ever witnessed this--before I knew anything about cats'

Did your vet test for hemobartenella? Better yet is he treating for

Yes, the cat shelter nearest me scrubs things with 30:1 water/bleach to
make them safe for the cats to be around. The counsellor I know there

I would do Immunoregulin instead of Interferon. There is no indication that

You need to comb for the fleas every day and get rid of them. Fleas cause anemia which you certainly DON'T want to deal with in a positive cat. When I comb for fleas I usually soak a cottonball in alcohol and poor a little alcohol into a plastic cup. If one is 'too fast' for me I put the
