Re: Flavia update

Kerry,    I have not been reading posts regularly, and just learned of Flavia. I am so sorry. it is so strange the way we seem to deal with the same things-- me with lymphoma over and over and you with inexplicable anemia.  I would try Immuno-regulin too. The article on this group's web page says that the vet who wrote it has seen even severe anemia in positive cats turn around with it. I don't know if it is true, but it is worth a shot.  I would test for hemobart too.       I would also ask about doing depo and dexamethasone shot to start, then pred when the dex wears off, like the next day. Dex is much faster and stronger than pred, so if steroids are needed and she is in critical shape it makes sense to give her dex I think rather than just depo and pred, both of which take days to kick in.  You can give depo and dex at the same time. the dex is out of the system by the time the depo kicks in. I have done it many times.      That said, 7.5 is so low. I am pulling for her. And you.   Michelle
