Wendy,
A hematocrit of 7 is almost at the point of death and well
beyond the point of maybe needing a transfusion. A transfusion may not save him
at this point, but he will definitely die without one. He needs one today if you
are going to try anymore therapies or he will not be strong enough to last until
they work.

Hi
Belinda,
Cricket isn't feral, but he sure does act like
it sometimes. He gets crazy if anyone tries to do anything to him
at the vet. Since he was so anemic, it was less stressful on him to
sedate him. I did find a vet who will administer the ImmunoRegulin
that I bought as soon as it gets here. I just don't know what
dosage to give him. The vet said he would look up the dosage, but I
am a little weary about vets anyway, and like to find the information out
before I do things so I'm not caught off guard or know if something
doesn't sound right. I hope we have enough time. Cricket's labs
came back with a hemocrit of 7%, which is pretty bad, and he didn't look so
well this morning. So I am just trying to get through the day at
work so I can get home to him. I wish it were Friday. The vet
didn't sound very encouraging after looking at his labs. He also had one
eye dilated this morning so I don't know what in the world that means.
I just hope if he goes that I am home with him. Has anyone had a
cat die of anemia at home while you were there? Is it painful?
I don't want to take him to the vet if I don't have to because he hates
going to the vet. Thanks.
Hanging on to
hope- Wendy
