I forgot also that one time when Spaz had a minor bout with anemia, the new
vet had just dispensed up pred. tablets. Personally, I would not go that
route, especially with severe anemia. Need a strong injection to get
jump-started, then pills for maintenance and weaning.

Subject: Wowie
Hi All-
I had written a few days ago to ask about teeth. I took Wowie to the vet
yesterday and he is not eating but not beacuse of his teeth. He is not
well and in fact, his health has taken a turn for the worst. The prognosis
is not good and neither is my state of mind. I have to make a decision
this week. His blood work came back showing he is anemic, his bilirubin
levels are high, his RBC count is also high, WBC count is low. She said he
doesn't have much time. She also said she believes he is younger than the
5 years that most vets had estimated. She gave me steriods to try and get
him to eat and clavimox. I don't know what to say. I'm at a loss. Though I
knew this day would come when I took him in just 7 months ago, it could
still never be easy.
Thanks for listening.
Rebecca
