When they are not producing RBC's, Epogen or Procrit sometimes helps.
This is because failure to produce RBC's sometimes comes from the kidneys not
sending a hormone they are supposed to send out that tells the bone marrow to
produce RBC's. Procrit and Epogen are synthetic copies of that
hormone.

Did they do that test that checks to see if there are all stages of the RBC development? It's some kind of stain test, something Blue. I wish I could remember it--when one of my cats got several anemic, he was determined to have Hemobart (he was FeLV+) and so I said we would treat that since I don't PTS just for FeLV+. But then when another vet check him, they did this "stain" test which showed that his marrow was no producing any new RBCs and probably hadn't for some time. So it was really an unfixable situation. I let Leroy go soon after that bec. even if he fought the Hembart, his body wasn't making RBCs. The test sounds like "methyl...blue...something. |
