Thanks Wendy, It is VERY scary. I did not ask him about Epogen. I asked him about transfusions. He said that they are no longer recommended becuase those red blood cells get attacked too, but he would do one for me if I wanted. Right now, for a sick cat, Joey is acting pretty good. He grooms a little, and lies on his tummy with his head up, instead of on his side with his head laying on the floor. He is quite feisty with me when I give him his meds, too. He is able to walk on his own to the food and water dish. If he makes it he will probably have to be on steroids for life to keep it from coming back.
