hemobart is a nasty little beast--often hard to find, plus it seems to be regional...... almost three years ago now, one of my vets said that practically every cat they were sending bloods out on was testing positive, while other parts of the country still hadn't heard of it. one of mine had developed anemia from it back in 2000, and that was the first time i'd ever encountered it....
(re: the high incidence here, my initial question to the vet was re: it was actually endemic here, were the tests more sensitive now, or were they just testing more regularly for it than they used to?) On 3/14/07, Nina <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
