Hi Belinda,
I do know Bailey's story well and honestly you are one of the only stories I've
heard with positive results (not to say there aren't a lot more good ones out
there, that's why I'm asking). Your story keeps me wondering if I should try
it despite the warnings. I'm so glad you had
I'll give her the benefit of the doubt, but what exactly is she
basing her information that FeLV+'s have such a bad experience with
using epogen, because I have not heard of any studies that have been
done on this to bear that out and if there is one I would like the
reference so I can look
Here is some good info on anemia, it is from the CRF site but it
explains some of the blood work results of an anemic cat and what they
mean and anemia is anemia:

Amy,
Never give up and try everything you can. We were told our cat had 2
weeks to live that was 1.5 years ago! He is FeLV negative now,
however we deal with the anemia.

Oh Laura, I am so sorry. I highly doubt that the LTCI was a contributing
factor, but I'm not a vet. Some kitties' bodies just can't handle those drugs
and she might have had an underlying problem with her heart that contributed.
I firmly believe that you did NOT kill Bridget; you are a

Not really. When I took Dixie to be spayed (we found out later--
before surgery--that she had already been spayed) there were detailed
discussions about stress and FeLV+ cats and which was more stressful,
surgery or going through heat at least twice a year. And my vets
were not in favor
I'm so sorry about Bridget. We lost a cat that was being spayed once, the
vet said it was her heart.
I am SO sure it was not your fault. All of us that are responsible cat
owners have our cats spayed and neutered. There is no other good choice,
especially with a positive cat. We all know
I just gave Casper his first Epogen shot. He is supposed to get .15 ml daily
to start. Hopefully things will get better for him. Tomorrow I am supposed to
pick up the Imulan and give him that shot.
I am shocked at how expensive all this stuff is. The one vial of Epogen was
about $75.00
Oh Laura I am so sorry. You have truly had an awful time lately. Please don't
blame yourself. I've had a couple kitties die under anesthesia. It has usually
been their heart.
You are such a wonderful person to take in these kitties have done so much
more than most people would have.
Laura, sending healing thoughts, energy and prayers to you. You did right by
these kitties. There are so many things we cannot control. You gave them
love and they had a better life with you than they would have had
otherwise...even though brief. Godspeed, sweet Bridget.

This really bothers me. For the past week I've had an awful premonition that I
shouldn't spay her, that she would die during surgery. I had a bad, bad
feeling. No reason behind it, the thought just kept intruding. I ignored it and
figured I was just worrying too much. It reminds me of something
Amy, I have not used epogen for a CRF or FeLV kitty though I have had both with
anemia.

Laura, I am so sorry to read about Bridget. We do the best we can with the
knowledge we have. Normally it is best to have any kitty spayed/neutered.
Unfortunately there is always a risk with anesthesia.
My heart goes out to you.

Laura, you are obviously blessed with strong intuitive thought.
I am so sorry that you are having these feelings that Bridget's passing is
your fault. I know you will trust your gut in the future. For now, please
try to forgive yourself. When I don't act or do act in opposition to my gut
and
Laura,
I am very sorry. I hope your guily will ease up. You did everything right.
Bridget knows you love her.

Hey Laura,
Your subject line really caught me - I've recently lost a cat named Bridget and
she was the best, smartest cat. Bridget is a wonderful name and thank god she
had one. I don't know what LTCI is and am hoping someone explains it.
I relocated a feral cat named Molly to my yard
Yes it does:
But it was odd this morning when I dropped her off - he said You know, this can stress out
a cat with leukemia bring on symptoms. I'm just letting you know so you don't blame me if
something happens. Well, yeah, we all know you need to keep these cats away from stress.

Will you please keep me posted on Casper's progress? I'd love to hear how the
Epogen/LTCI work for you. Good luck.

Not sure if this is for me or not but Wolfie has been tested and was fine. I

Remember the cat who I had PTS a little over a month ago, Frosty Paws? That cat

Wow, I paid 65.00 for a 1ml vial, it was a 2000IU and Fred was
getting 0.15 also, there was enough in the 1ml vial for 8 or 9 shots.
What size is your vial, I also bought mine at Walgreens in Washington
state. It was only $50.00 dollars for the same size and dosage at the

PS. Why is he getting it daily the standard dosing is 0.15ml (more or
less depending on weight), 3 times a week?

Well, if he did another positive and he came through OK, then I
would say it probably was just something that she physically wasn't able
to handle ... maybe there was an underlying heart issue or some other
issue that was unknown. My sisters cat had something very similar
