suggest that she contact best friends. they do a lot in CA and can probably
direct her to someone helpful. Also emphasize that they probably do not have
fip.

Thanks for all of your replies, I'd love to hear about successes in treating
FELVs where the cat's bone marrow is no longer producing red cells- the vets
are supportive, BUT don't offer much hope. Of course, the literature doesn't
either. I won't put the cat down as long as he's not in
If you bring him to an internist, you might have an easier time convincing
them to try Epogen. You can also suggest to the vet that they try it as a
last attempt, with pred, since it has helped several cats on this list.

how long is he going between transfusions, and how low has his pcv gone?

Elizabeth,
I am trying to remember which type of crystals Winston
had but I am sorry my memory just isn't what it used
to be. His last bout was back in October. It wasn't
very bad I think I caught it early. The vet gave him
Baytril and valium to help ease his straining. Winston
is very high
it really does depend--my brendan, a red persian (who, when he was
neutered, was found to have a bent penis) developed crystals at one
point that i caught IMMEDIATELY because he was a--and remains--a cat
who NEVER goes outside the litter box, so when he did, i knew there
was a problem he was
---how long is he going between transfusions, and how low has his pcv gone?

Up until this current bout, he was going 7 weeks, and his pcv went down to
13. This time, alarmingly it was only 4 weeks. He was never in any distress,
except for the first time, because I watxh him
7 weeks, or even 4, is pretty good. I agree that there seems to be quality
life and that you are doing the right thing. I think you should try epogen,
though, and see if it helps. It really seemed to cure Belinda's Bailey's
anemia, which was not producing red cells, at least combined
Well, if she could ask the lady specifically what BREED the cats are, there
are breed rescues. I'm betting they are Bengals (the most common wild
hybrid) or Pixie Bobs, the only breed that has bob in the name and that
many people ASSUME are bobcat crosses because of the name, but they aren't.
And
Yes, quality of life is the important thing. If your vet is not willing to
try new things as a last ditch effort, try to find one that is.

The easy way out has a bad reputation.
Why would anyone take the hard way out?
The door? No thanks, that would be the easy way out.
Also, Dr. Mike Lees in Ohio, who wrote an article on Immuno-Regulin posted
on this group's website, claims that he has reversed FeLV-related anemia by
giving a high dose of I-R (1 ml) three times a week for two weeks. I and
others on this list have seen I-R work wonders for cats with
coccidia also has a distinctly 'foul' smell...

I'll say it again, Bailey's HCT was at 15% at his lowest, his anemia
was NON-REGENERATIVE, confirmed with a bone marrow aspirate. After 6
weeks on epogen and prednisolone, his HCT was at 40%. When he died of
the undiagnosed cancer months later it was still normal at 33%.
