Re: cost of epogen/transfusion?

[PEC2851]

Bonnie~ It sounds like maybe a transfusion would be beneficial for Fu right now.... With my feral girl who was on Epogen (she was dx.w/ CRF _ I basically took her home for hospice care cause no one at the shelter could touch her), after I found a vet willing to treat a terminally ill "feral", we gave her a transfusion first step. It's been so many years, I don't recall what her bloodwork was, but the vet felt if she responded to steroid shots & transfusion, we'd proceed w/ Epogen. And, miraculously she did respond... Very well. We then did the Epogen and my Beauty lived an additional 9 months after I took her home... Transfusions can really make  a BIG difference. Keeping Fu and you in my prayers, Patti
