Hello Sally, did the Baytril improve the anemia? I am trying to figure it out...does this mean there was an infection that the baytril effectively treated and the infection caused the anemia? Were there other symptoms?
Did IR take care of the fevers? We are dealing with fever, anemia and low white blood count...my vet and I are going to talk tomorrow about what to do to treat the anemia. I was thinking of having Isabella tested for hemobart rather than just treating for it. He wanted to just treat with doxy but we used this for a kitten earlier this spring and I'd rather not use it unless we know she has hemobart. My vet is not supportive of using IR. His research shows nothing works for feline leukemia....but I believe he will support what we want to do (just doesn't want false hopes on my part ~ we've been through several mystery illnesses together).

The anemia did improve, but then came the fevers the eye infection etc....it was a rough go and without this group, I am not sure how long I would have put him through it. I was and to certain extent am clueless. My vet at that time was saying the with the fevers most likely being from the FELV it might be time to pts. I took my puttycat home and got him back to the old vet and told him I wanted to do the IR. He, Dr Larrick is a good natured fellow who thank goodness had just hired a new(young vet). She has been very caring and did the IR protocol and we treated what came along. Junior is still with me 10 months later. Thanks to the support and knowlegde of this group. sally On 7/1/07, Marylyn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Not necessarily on topic........Mai Mai had AIHA and it improved with the addition of liver (yuck) to her food + alternative vet treatments. I have to wonder if anemic cats would benefit from liver pops????????
