Hi, Lorraine Veterinary wants to increase prednisolone to immunosuppressive dose and add erythropoietin. She thinks it is immune-mediated anemia and not mycoplasma.
Nori is receiving 1,2 mg prednisolone, twice a day. She weighs only 1 kg. We did x-ray today too. No visible tumor but we found a possible cardiopathy ("Increased globular-looking heart silhouette"). :( Em ter, 4 de jun de 2019 às 20:50, Lorraine Johnston < johnston1...@comcast.net> escreveu: > Patricia, > > > > I would go with the transfusion and also start erythropoietin.
