I won't give anything that will effect her appetite. A kitten we rescued had 
anorexia which we finally attributed to one of the meds he was taking. The one 
thing we have going in our favor is she is still eating.

  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.

compassion and pity, you will have men who 
                                                   will deal likewise with 
their fellow man.

    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
