Blood pressure increasing from very low sure may have been behind feeling
better. I need to learn more about the side effects before I consider using
it again. Our rescue group's vet tech recommended it for a couple of cats in
the past but Valley was the first of my own I used it on. Thanks!

I dont think you imagined it at all you know your baby, Valley more than
anything else probably, and I am sure that she was feeling better but not
sure if it was the epogen that caused and its possible if your kittys BP
is very low, and epogen will very quickly increase BP and it might be related
to that??
I just did not want Michelle to expect to see the immediate response from
epogen, as she may be discourage if it did not, but wanted her to know its
okay if she did not see any immediate response, but rather wanted her to warn
about high BP causing blindness --J

Hideyo - you are way more knowledgeable about epogen than I am -- I thought
my Valley perked up within a day of having it; I guess that isn't
physiologically possible -- do you think I just imagined it?

I have used epogen on 5 cats so far, but I did not see any immediate
response for anemia case, it takes up to one to three weeks to take an effect
and the main think you need to watch is to keep an eye on BP as it will
increase BP and cat can become blind due to high BP, and could cause seizures
the both of these things happened to my baby Hannibal whom I was treating his
anemia due to CRF but when anemia happens due to CRF, you really dont have
much choice but to use epogen as otherwise you would lose a cat from anemia..
my Ayumi is on epogen.. it does not make her feel better directly, but her PCV
is slowly going up because of it.

He seemed to perk up within 24 hours.

How soon did the cat feel better from epogen?

Wow Michelle - that is a hard one. My gut feeling is that there is no
reason not to start the interferon, for sure. I don't know anything about the
kind of reactions you get with epogen, but the times I have used the cat has
seemed to feel better. Will be interested in seeing what the really
experienced folks suggest. Good luck. Prayers for you and Lucy.
