Hi Roxanne, Keep working with him. I'd treat all the symptoms first and see how he is after that. There is always a chance for finding a place for him too. Give him a chance and see if all the health problems don't work themselves out. If not, then you know you did everything you possibly could

She could, if she wanted to. She's only prescribing it for me because I've convinced her too. She would have to sell it to other patients if she diluted it herself, (it makes up more portions than I can go through myself in the 90 day recommended expiration time). I used to get it at VMSG,

Hi Roxane and welcome, First of all, thank you for being the kind of person that would take little Ty in and not be persuaded to do anything drastic, (like pts), until you had more information. I'm so glad you found us, you'll get lots of info and support from this group. I want to make sure

When you first took him in, he had a slight URI which you treated with amoxi. His URI came while at the vets office, he spent the night because I had him neutered, was that a mistake? They sent amoxi home with him. He also had worms, so you treated him for that, what did you use for the

Oh yes, nothing wrong with steroids for treating anemia - that's what Spaz had, too, but I think the prednisolone injection is more effective than just the tablets, which is what I thought was being used in this case. I also feel like using pred before anemia has even been diagnosed while a
