Hi Caroline, Well, considering that it is rare, but possible, for Monkee to start making RBC's again, I would start the Epogen today if it were my kitty. He doesn't have time for you to wait, as transfusions buy precious but little time, and I don't think Monkee has a shot without something like the Epogen to stimulate RBC production. I would call your vet and even if she's not crazy about it, tell her it won't hurt and she might possibly learn something new. You may also need to consider one more transfusion to give the Epogen time to work, if it's going to. I am praying for another miracle, like Belinda had with her furbaby Bailey. And I am so happy to hear that Monkee is his old self again. Isn't it just wonderful to witness that? It's like a miracle in and of itself.
