PS. How long has he been on the Pet Tinic and how long has he been getting the pred and doxy? When was the last time he had a blood draw? On the last draw is that when his HCT was 29%? They can always take a tiny bit of blood from the ear tip to check the HCT and if it is OK then do the

Hi Amy, Petinic doesn't contain folic acid which is also needed to build new blood, Nutrived does ... most vets carry the Petinic and not the Nutrived that is why they recommend it. If you can find the Nutrived I would switch to it, I used to buy it online, I'll see if I can find

Amy, If the HCT was 29% on the July 2nd draw and he is acting the same I would wait at least 2 weeks, stress is not good so you want to avoid that. If he takes a sudden turn for the worse before 2 weeks then get him to the vet. When did the vet want you to bring him in for a recheck? I

I was thinking of going back in a bit over 2 weeks when she returns from vacation. There's another vet in the office but I would prefer to see my regular vet unless we run into problems. Amy Date: Saturday, July 11, 2009, 7:06 PM    Amy, If the HCT was 29% on the July 2nd draw and he is
