I know you can also use epogen but it will also take a couple of weeks to start building red cell through epogen, and it will be too long for your baby.. and when you get transfusion and you can start on epogen as well. I am also on Felk support group and I know people who have done transfusion for their kitties as well - I am copying the group here just in case you need to post them the message as well. felvtalk@felineleukemia.org -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of linda vann Sent: Tuesday, May 09, 2006 2:56 PM To: kschultz2006 Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [CRF] desperately need advice-blood transfusion dear kathy, i have not been down this road but i was wondering if you belong to the anemia group. im sure you will find very experienced people there. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Feline_Anemia/ this is information from helens site http://felinecrf.org/anaemia.htm prayers for you and ollie. linda, angel fabians mom in texas --- kschultz2006 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ollie is 19 - CRF since october - we have been > managing well with > subQs and diet.
