Hi Avakyn,
Was this an "in house" test? Any other numbers out of range?I sure wouldn't be talking transfusion with those numbers. At 1 month old, I'm surprised you could even get enough blood to do the testing, but those numbers are not that bad. Weight loss at that age is very concerning, so
If it is truly non regenerative anemia a blood transfusion will only buy her a
short amount of time because, as my vet told me, she will be unable to remake
the red blood cells once they die off.
Mine went downhill pretty fast with nonregenerative anemia. We tried
antiobiotics just in case it
Good luck. Thank you for caring so much for her.

Susan,
I have had a lot of experience with FelV having a shelter with several FelV
cats. I wish I could give you more encouraging news, but if she is at the
point of eating litter she is desperately sick. With noregenerative anemia a
blood transfusion will only buy her a very small amount of
I very very strongly disagree with this advice to euthanize her because her PCV
is at 21.7. There are some processes that can cause moderate anemia that can be
addressed. If she is terminal, sometimes high doses of steroids can give them a
very good quality of life for a few months. I had an
We got a copy of her bloodwork and it shows that she is producing a very small
amount of red cells. We didn't see a PVC value. Would it be listed as that on
bloodwork results or might it be listed another way? Or is that a special test?
Thanks so much for your input.
We took a copy of her bloodwork to another vet...he is probably more open to
and able to treat her aggressively.
Many of her values are off but none by a huge amount. We decided to give a B-12
shot this Wed and next and will take her to this vet next Friday for an exam
and repeat bloodwork.
Must read where some vets test for the HCT rather than the PCV...and we found
HCT on DeeDee's bloodwork. It is 24.1. Does that change any of your
suggestions/input?

My cats had Epogen. It did nothing with the nonregenerative anemia.
