The note on the Doxy was not to discourage the use just to make sure the side
effects are noted and coped with.....especially the intestinal disturbances. A
diarrhea can cause all sorts of problems in an immune compromised cat and an
upset stomach needs soothing so she can eat and gain/retain weight. I have no
comment on the selection of the meds themselves.

I think the meds are a wise choice. I hope she responds to the treatment?
Any hope that he will give her Epogen?

Look at the information Caroline has re anemia. It may not apply to the
specific kind Isabella has but the food--raw chicken livers and lean, raw
hamburger (yuck)--may make her feel better. So may the supplements. Check
with her.
A personal note: Doxy makes my stomach very upset and I need lots of
probiotics when I am taking it. I have to believe it does the same to a cat.

Hi. I have not seen much discussion about prednisone. This and doxy are
what my vet is recommending. He is willing to also try IR. Isa has been more
lethargic the past few days. Am taking her tomorrow for weight and temp check.
She is still eating ~more like grazing. Any thoughts on the pred? Doxy? Her
anemia is non-regenerative.
Thanks
Laurie
