I'm using steroids right now, 2 tablets of prednisone per day. This is back to
the dosage he was at for a week after his transfusion. This is basically the
last thing the vet said we could try, she didn't say anything about
cyclosporins.
I think he needs the immune suppression as well, though I don't know if his
bone marrow isn't producing enough red cells, or the virus is killing the new
cells. It just seems odd that his red count was going up for a couple of weeks
after the transfusion, and now its going down. I'm wondering if maybe the
virus took over his bone marrow while his immune system was suppressed from the
prednisone, but I guess its pretty hard to know what is going on.
Thank you all for the kind thoughts.

know this is stupid but have they tried the high dose steroids or
cyclosporins,,I have used the Immuno regulin, but in this situation I think
immune suppression is needed, not immune stimulation,
