Can you not write off some of the interest, too?

about 30 cents back on the dollar. I wrote off 3,000 last year and got an
1,800 refund. When I am paying 24% interest on this credit card I am using it
is a very large financial hit. But he is going to get paid for anyway. The
problem is when I run out of credit then it will be a very big issue. I just
have to keep fundraising and make sure that doesnt' happen:).

It is so kind of you to help the kitties and I know every cent counts! Where is
the money tree when we need it!

Subject: Re: Auto Immune Hemolytic Anemia - to Kelley
Thanks Hideyo,
He did not run coombs test. So the diagnosis is "suspected." See, my
problem is that I do rescue...so I have other cats in need of medical. I know
you have lots of cats too. But the problem is, if I spend all my money on Joey
(I am spending my personal money on a 24% credit card to help him because
people do not want to donate to a 10 year old cat. His dad said he would send
$100 but so far he has not). Anyway if I spend all my credit card on Joey and
then I have another cat who needs treatment and I have spent all my money on
Joey - then I can't help the other cat. It is driving me crazy to try to
decide what to do.
I have a cat coming in Wednesday that will probably have to have one eye
removed. But I don't know that yet, my vet has to see her. AIHA from what I
can find on the internet is regenerative anemia.

Nina wrote to me off list and I wanted to respond to you as I am going through
a very very situation with my FIV boy Felix
I do wanted to find out more from you about the diagnosis of AIHA of Joey did
they run coombs test to determine the illness of AIHA? Is he regenerative
anemia? Epgoen may help only if anemia is non regenerative my Ayumi is non
regenerative anemia and we don't know why it could be from severe stomatitis
anyway, she Is not CRF kitty, but epogen seems to have helped her as she is
maintaining low 20's o PCV for now..
On the other hand, my Felix is highly regenerative, but his body seems to
attack his RBC usually it goes down below 10 he has had his 4 th
transfusion on Saturday fortunately he has not had any reactions from it.
My recommendation is that.. if it goes down lower and get weaker, especially,
if he will have hard time breathing, which will happen if his PCV goes down
further, I recommend that you do transfusion even with hermobartnella
kitties, often times, they have to get multiple transfusion until the med start
working but at least it will buy you some time meantime..Felix is on steroid
and on doxy as well.. I am still waiting for his Hemobartenella PCR result
(takes about one week form Idexx) I will continue to do transfusions as long
as I can afford it and he does not develop reactions he feels so much better
after his transfusions There is a page as to how to treat AIHA in case hyou
have not read it I will forward it to you, as the suggest other drugs if they
don't respond to steroid I am considering using for my Felix as well.
You also may wan to ask your vet if you can get oxygen tank in case he will
have a hard time breathing.. I have used for my cats at home and have it here
all the time, and it has come so handy, especially a kitty with severe anemia.

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.

Hi Kelley,
I'm so sorry about Joey's prognosis. Anemia is so
scary. I did a little research and humans with AIHA
use Epogen. Did your vet say whether Epogen would
help Joey?
:)
