Hi Deanne, I had my kitty Cricket on ImmunoRegulin only for about a week or two, but lost him to anemia in November. I think I gave it to him too late. Is Chelsea anemic? If so, you should also consider Epogen. Other members here have more experience with either of these than I do. Good luck

Deanne, Chelsea's blood work does not look good. If you can afford a transfusion, get one for Chelsea. It will buy you some time to see what is going on with her. 9.6 is very, very low. Time is of the essence. Good luck sweetie. I will keep you and Chelsea on my prayer list. Please let us

Thanks Wendy. I've talked to others locally who have had their felv+ cats transfused, none of them said that they would do it again. They all seemed to think that it was a lot to put their cats though in order to buy a little more time. I tend to agree. I had hoped that we'd caught

With her count at 9.6 it is a good idea to get a cross matched blood transfusion, if you decide to do epogen I would get started right away, it can take up to three weeks to work. Also I must again say I would be giving the doxy even though she tested negative for hemobartonella, many

Hi, Just to clarify, Bailey never had a transfusion, he didn't get low enough, but he certainly would have had he needed it. My Teenye years ago needed a transfusion and it brought her count up from 9 or 10% to 30 something %, don't remember exactly this was many years ago.
