So sorry to hear about Casper. I have one cat with leukemia that became
anemic in September of last year. He is still holding his own. He does
have non-regenerative anemia so I asked how it is that his HCT isn't
dropping if he's not making more red blood cells. I guess the spleen and
another organ can make some red blood cells too. Do you know if Casper has
regenerative or non-regenerative anemia? Either way I hope you have lots of
time left. I think it totally depends on what's causing the anemia to begin
with. I asked the internist if non-regenerative anemia is a definite death
sentence. She said there is no way to tell how long Wolfie will continue to
hold his own but she hopes he lives until he's 20. I know that's not going
to happen but it never hurts to hope. We know his odds aren't good now that
the leukemia is in his bone marrow but his odds of living this long weren't
good either and he did. Hoping for the best for Casper.

My poor sweet Casper is FeLV+.
So by making the decision to mix I have condemned him.
He is anemic and he is going on Doxycyclne and
Prednosolone. Has anyone ever heard of a cat that has
anemia living longer then a few months?
