All, there is an awesome group called Distant Healing Network. It's an international group that sends energy and prayers for sick people and animals. I have posted animals and friends there. Alice, you might consider putting Murphy on the list. Just google Distant Healing Network. :L

He does sleep a bit more and doesn't race around the house with Rosie (hallway racing), but does fly up the cat tree to the ceiling once or twice a day and will make it to the top of the bookcase in the spare room for a nap. On 7/23 his PCV was 18.5 and TP 4.2. Almost a week later his PCV was 23 and TP 5.0 on the in house test. The CBC from the lab test on 7/23 showed RBC 3.52, HCT 22.3. I think it's the Procrit injections that are helping-he's had 7 in the last 2 weeks-we are giving them at home to save a little $ and trips to the vet. They've (both cats) also had their LTCI injection 2 weeks ago. His gums and tongue are definitely pink now, much better from the gray-white of 2 weeks ago. He's also been on Doxy 2x a day, Interferon 1cc 2x a day, an iron capsule once a day. I've been mixing a little lysine powder and "Missing Link" (vitamin Bs and stuff like kelp) supplement with their wet food. So we have our paws crossed and are saying purrayers! I know deep down that this darn disease will win eventually, but we are fighting as best we can. We've had so much loss already losing Rosie's 4 brothers last year-they (and we) were so cheated, not making it to a year old.
