Tomi is in my prayers. I hope by some miracle he'll pull through.

I took Tomi to the vet today to have his PCV rechecked. He's been
lethargic again lately. The PCV has gone down to 11 from 17 in the last week
and a half.
I just don't understand it. After his transfusion, his blood count went up
on its own from 13, to 17, then 19. Now in the last few weeks, its gone down
to 17, and now 11.
I've been giving him prednisone again for the last week and a half, and now
all the vet could suggest was to up his prednisone from 1 to 2 tablets a day.
I guess his hemobartonella wasn't the only problem with his blood. The vet
says that its likely his bone marrow is shutting down, and she didn't think
another transfusion would be worth it.
I don't know what the heck else to do. Maybe I should stop his interferon
while giving him the prednisone.
This is so hard, just when I had a glimmer of hope that he might actually
pull through this, now my hope is pretty much gone :( It's such a feeling of
desperation to see him slowly getting worse, and not being able to do anything
about it.
