The Doxycycline for Hemobartinella that Belinda mentioned earlier is
also worth a try. My kitty, Grace is one of the ones that it saved,
even though the test for it, (it's a blood parasite), was negative.
It's a broad-spectrum antibiotic so it hits a lot of different types of
parasites. You really need more info about what exactly is going on
here. Start bugging your vet. One thing I would ask them is, would
they recommend the same things if your cat wasn't positive? Too many
vets are ready to throw in the towel at the first sign of trouble when
they know the cat is positive.

I personally know of a cat with cancer that was not producing red
blood cells, granted he was not positive but his bone marrow wasn't
producing and he was on epogen for two years with cancer and CRF
before the cancer not the anemia finally took him. It is worth a try
in my opinion. Many vets will try to scare the cr*p out of you saying
the cat will produce antibodies, yes this can happen but if it does
and it is very rare, it usually takes months and all that means is the
treatment will stop working. If it is a choice between doing nothing
and my cat dying in a week or less, and trying this and getting even a
few more months or as in Jean Lucs (the cat I mentioned in my pervious
email), case an extra almost 2 years, I'm giving it a try!!
