How about starting Cosmos on procrit (epogen) shots. It may stimulate the bone marrow to produce rbc, even though it doesn't treat the underlying condition.

I have 5 leuk positive kitties and I have one that I
took to emergency last night. I noticed his gums were
very white and that he was anemic. The vet found his
PCV is 11. I'm starting him on a steroid as well as
Doxy in case he has Hemobart. He is also on
interferon and I do have PetTinic. My real vet is
calling me today to go over stuff but any suggestions
or am I doing all I can at this point?


I lost another one to anemia before when the PCV hit
about 5 or 6.  I know the downward progression.  I
won't put Cosmo through the transfusions but I'm
hoping something will kick his bone marrow into making
some more red blood cells.  I've got my fingers
crossed for him.  Any ideas or experiences are
welcome.

Amy
